    Duffy Relishes First World Cup Experience At 31 After Breakthrough Year

    By IANS News February 12, 2026 • 14:04 PM View: 139
    T20 World Cup: Jacob Duffy is embracing his first ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at the age of 31, following a breakthrough 2025 season that saw him etch his name into New Zealand cricket history.

    The South Island paceman took 81 wickets for the Black Caps last year, breaking a New Zealand record held by Sir Richard Hadlee for four decades. He has continued his strong form at the T20 World Cup 2026, claiming key wickets in wins over Afghanistan and the UAE.

    Duffy’s journey to international cricket was far from immediate. He had to wait until he was 26 to make his debut, earning a Player of the Match award after taking four wickets in a T20I against Pakistan. That patience, he says, has been crucial in shaping him into a player capable of thriving under pressure.
