ICC Men’s T20 World Cup The 9th edition of the T20 World Cup has started on June 2 under the joint hosting of West Indies and America. The Oman cricket team played its first match today (June 3) against Namibia in Barbados, in which the team had to face defeat by 11 runs in the super over. 37-year-old Bilal Khan is one of the senior players of Oman in the T20 World Cup 2024.
It is no secret that young players are given more priority in the T20 format. In this format, senior players have to put in as much effort as young players to make a place in the team. Oman player Bilal Khan says that he is currently giving the biggest test of his career.
I follow James and Stuart Broad a lot- Bilal Khan
Oman cricket team player Bilal Khan says that he is ready for every challenge that comes in his career. He also revealed that he is inspired by England legend James Anderson and follows his fitness routine. Speaking ahead of Oman’s first match in the T20 World Cup 2024, Bilal Khan said, ‘My body still feels good. I love playing for Oman and I am much more prepared for it now. I feel confident when I am on the field, I know I have done all I can. I am ready to play well, I believe a lot in hard work and my skills.
Bilal Khan further said, ‘James Anderson is a perfect example of this. He is still playing for England. Age does not matter, it matters what you do on the field and when you have the ability, it does not leave you, it is just about making sure that your body is able to perform well. I follow James and Stuart Broad a lot. These are fast bowling legends, I follow Jimmy’s fitness routine a lot. Age is just a number, it should be ignored.’
Oman’s next match is against Australia
