“The phenomenal rise of Afghanistan as a cricketing stronghold in such a short time, serves as a cautionary tale to anyone who isn’t aware of how fast and how skilfully the game is growing at all levels. With this in mind, I am excited to be a part of the broadcast panel that will be on hand to keep you updated as to which two nations will be standing on the pedestal of success on March 25 as they tread the path to leave their mark on the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.”

What that means is that there will be some delightful cricket that will be played with new heroes emerging. I am eager to be part of the broadcast team and I¿m looking forward to all the excitement it will bring. There will be a 15-minute pre-game build up to bring the viewers closer to the game.
