5 popular cricketers who could make their T20 World Cup debut in 2024
After the 2022 T20 World Cup, the next edition will be held in the USA and West Indies. That edition might see a new crop of cricketers. On that note, in this article, we take a look at five popular cricketers who could make their T20 World Cup debut in 2024.
After 2016, fans had to wait five years to witness another T20 World Cup. In these five years, many players made their debut and became established names. Some of them missed the 2021 edition due to injury or form and the same happened for the 2022 edition, too. Therefore, such players will be making their T20 World Cup debut in 2024.
1) Jofra Archer - England
Jofra Archer is one of the popular cricketers who could make their T20 World Cup debut in 2024. The English pacer's big event was the 2019 ODI World Cup, in which he helped his team win. However, Jofra Archer has then missed the 2021 and 2022 editions of the T20 World Cup. Assuming he would be injury free, the player would make his T20 WC debut only in 2024.
2) Sanju Samson - India
Sanju Samson's time with the Indian Team would become stronger after the 2022 T20 WC. He would probably don the role of a finisher. Having led Rajasthan Royals in the IPL and owning a massive fanbase, Sanju is a popular cricketer. His skills are well-known and it is likely that he would make his T20 WC debut in 2024.
3) Dewald Brevis - South Africa
Dewald Brevis is also one of the popular cricketers who could make their T20 World Cup debut in 2024. The youngster is arguably the most promising youngster at the moment. The Proteas did not include him in the squad for the 2022 T20 World Cup but it is just a matter of time before Brevis starts playing for the senior squad. Hence, he is also a part of this list.
4) Matheesha Pathirana - Sri Lanka
Sri Lankan pacer Pathirana has already left many impressed with his slinging action. While he was not included in the 2022 T20 WC squad, it is likely that he will take part in the next edition. By then, he would have gained more experience at the highest level.
5) Deepak Chahar - India
While Deepak Chahar was on standby for the 2021 T20 World Cup, he got a similar position for the 2022 T20 WC but was ruled out due to injury. However, for the 2024 edition, he could be in the final squad. Provided he is not injured, Deepak could even be a part of the playing XI. Therefore, Deepak Chahar is also a part of this list of popular cricketers who could make their T20 World Cup debut in 2024. Apart from Deepak, other Indian pacers such as Mohammed Siraj and Umran Malik could also make their T20 World Cup debut in 2024.
