Australia T20 Captain, Aaron Finch shared his excitement for the event at today’s announcement of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 fixture at the MCG. “It’s super exciting to be here today and to launch it, it’s something really special for Australia, particularly on the back of how successful the Women’s T20 World Cup was, and hopefully we can replicate what Australia did there,” Finch said. “Our planning was ultra-detailed last time and knowing what the groups look like nine months out is really helpful because it can help your level of detail in that planning phase more and more. It’s a tough group though, and when you throw in qualifiers like the West Indies and Sri Lanka, you’ve got to play really well to get out of that group stage.” Fans can register now to get priority access to tickets and the latest event information by clicking on this link. -ENDS- For more information about the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 please contact: Max Abbott Media and Communications Manager ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 Local Organising Committee M: +61 409 810 915 E: max.abbott@t20worldcup.com.au Danielle Balales PR Manager ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 Local Organising Committee M: +61 401 790 363 E: danielle.balales@t20worldcup.com.au Michael Earsman General Manager – Corporate Affairs ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 Local Organising Committee M: +61 438 350 580 E: michael.earsman@t20worldcup.com.au ABOUT THE ICC MEN’S T20 WORLD CUP 2022 The ICC T20 World Cup is the pinnacle global event for T20 cricket, the game’s fastest growing format.
