HEADLINE: Windies and the lack of wrist in their t20 side

CaribbeanCricket.com Aug 7, 2023, 6:53:48 AM

A search for the most common bowling statistic—number of wickets—in the two most recent editions of the ICC’s Men’s T20 World Cup campaigns manifests Sri Lankan wrist-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga atop both standings. In fact, the last four editions of the International tournament have seen at least one bowler, akin in type to Hasaranga, finishing inside the top 5 five wicket-takers. As the 2016 and 2021 editions even saw multiple wrist spinners taking places in the top five.
