The 15th edition of the Indian Premier League saw some talents come on the grand stage and perform. A few Indian and overseas uncapped players showed their talent to the world. One such player was the Singapore-born cricketer, Tim David. However, the 26-year-old is known for his big shots, plays in Australia for the domestic leagues.
He has been one of the most destructive batters in the T20 format. Many former cricketers and cricket pundits have dubbed him the “next T20 superstar” and urged Cricket Australia to select him. On the other hand, David has also revealed his desire to play for Australia in the upcoming T20I World Cup.
In his latest interaction with BT Sports, the hard-hitting batter said that Australia won the last T20 World Cup six months ago and since then the team hasn’t changed. He also added that playing in T20 leagues all over the world has given him more confidence. But international cricket is a different ball game altogether.
The 26-year-old further added, “If I had the opportunity to be a part of it, I’d be thrilled and really excited. I’m not really thinking about it too much, to be honest. We’ll see what happens if I get that opportunity. It’s just another challenge. I just want to keep trying to improve and have fun.”
The Australian wicket-keeper, Mathew Wade, and skipper Aaron Finch, have also backed him to play for Australia soon. Many have praised the hitting ability of the 26-year-old. He also showed some glimpses in the recently concluded IPL. He played for the most successful IPL franchise, Mumbai Indians.
David played 8 matches this season and scored 186 runs at an average of 37.20 and an incredible strike rate of 216.28. He hit 16 maximums in IPL 2022. Notably, he is representing Lancashire in the ongoing T20 Blast 2022. The 26-year-old also feels thankful for the support he gets from his family and friends.
Tim David said that he is lucky to get the support of his family and friends. He also stated that the support gives you the desire to succeed in whatever opportunity you get. He pointed out that he hasn’t seen his family for quite some time now. But they are coming to the UK to meet him.
