Tom Moody, the legendary Australian cricketer and former coach of the Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL franchise, emphasized the critical role that players’ performances in the Indian Premier League (IPL) play in shaping their selection for the upcoming T20 World Cup. As the 2024 T20 World Cup approaches, jointly hosted by the West Indies and the USA, Moody believes that excelling in the IPL and other T20 leagues provides players with a competitive edge when it comes to securing a spot in the national squad. In the context of the T20 World Cup, Moody highlighted the importance of consistent performance—whether it’s scoring runs or taking wickets. Such consistent excellence gives players an added advantage in the selection process. The Indian cricket team, despite their triumph in the inaugural T20 World Cup back in 2007, has faced a title drought since then. As the 2024 edition approaches, Indian fans hope for a turnaround and an end to that dry spell.
