T20 World Cup: Sri Lanka's Chamari Athapaththu Eyes Big Goal For Team In 2024
T20 World Cup: One of the top players of 2023 in white ball cricket, Sri Lankan superstar Chamari Athapaththu has set her eyes on the big prize at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup later this year. After winning the ICC Women's ODI Player of the Year award, Athapaththu is eyeing a bigger goal later this year at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024.
The Sri Lankan skipper recounted her incredible year in 2023, culminating in the big ICC award, and stated that going unsold at the Women's Premier League [WPL] auction was a big motivating factor behind it.
"Internationally it was the best year I have had in my career," Athapathuthu told Cricbuzz. "Not just as a batter, but as a captain, and even as a team, we performed really well in 2023. Thanks to those performances, I was nominated for the ICC Player of the Year, and T20 Player of the Year, and I won the ODI Player of the Year award. To be honest, I didn't expect to be named captain of the two teams of the year."
