You'd Be Foolish To Treat ILT20 As A Warm-up For T20 World Cup, Says DC All-rounder Neesham
T20 World Cup: James Neesham, the New Zealand seam-bowling all-rounder currently turning out for Dubai Capitals in the International League T20 *(ILT20), said the ongoing tournament can’t be viewed as a warm-up for next year’s T20 World Cup, stressing that the mega event in India and Sri Lanka will pose challenges entirely different from the UAE conditions.
In 93 T20Is for New Zealand, Neesham has amassed 1010 runs and grabbed 56 wickets. “Look, I think everyone nowadays is playing cricket around the world pretty much year-round. So, you don't put too much emphasis on one tournament over another. I think India and Sri Lanka will be very different conditions from what they are over here.”
“So we'll have to prepare for that tournament as best we can when that moment comes. But I think you'd be foolish to treat the ILT20 as, I suppose, a warm-up series for the World Cup because they're obviously two very unique prospects,” Neesham told IANS in an exclusive conversation from Dubai.
