Since its start, T20 cricket has advanced significantly, and Australian batsman Marcus Stoinis is thrilled to be a part of it. In an exclusive interview with News18 Cricketnext, Stoinis discussed the development of T20 cricket and how it has grown to be one of the game’s most crucial aspects.

After finishing his Big Bash League (BBL) season with Melbourne Stars, Marcus Stoinis promptly boarded a trip to Dubai to join the Sharjah Warriors in the current Indian League T20 (ILT20). Although he is aware of the demanding travel schedule, he is eager to play in the league and give his all for his new squad.

T20’s Now One Of The Biggest That Once Started As A Bit Of Hit And Giggle: Marcus Stoinis

The all-rounder noted the commercial value of T20 cricket as well as its usefulness in attracting new followers to the sport. He also noted how T20 cricket has improved players’ abilities. He thinks that T20 has evolved significantly from its early status as a “hit and giggle” to become one of the largest competitions worldwide. The Australian All-rounder stated:

“Yeah it’s definitely adapting. It’s something which started out probably as a bit of hit and giggle when T20 first started. Now, it’s one of the biggest tournament and competition round the world. Whether it’s ILT20, the Big Bash or the IPL or The Hundred. It has taken players all over the world.

As I said, it was something which started as hit and giggle and is now one of the most important parts of our game. Whether it’s bringing kids to the game and obviously the financial side as well. So with that come a lot of different skills. We have seen the amount of slower balls there are now, then we have seen some of the shots that are coming out.”

Marcus Stoinis feels T20 cricket has brought forth extraordinary players like Surya Kumar Yadav, who have been “unearthed” as a result of the diversity of slower balls and inventive strokes. He agrees that it’s a great moment to play the game and is eager to contribute to the development of T20 cricket. Stoinis said:

“Someone who comes to mind is a player like Surya Kumar Yadav who can play absolutely everything and is a special player who has been almost unearthed due to T20 cricket. So the scores are getting bigger, the ball is going further, the slower balls are getting better. So it’s a fantastic time to be in the game.”
