ICC unveils star-studded commentary panel for T20 World Cup 2022; Ravi Shastri features in the list

The ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 is slated to get underway on October 16.

Ravi Shastri | GettyInternational Cricket Council (ICC) on Saturday (October 15) unveiled the list of a star-studded commentary panel for the T20 World Cup 2022.

Former New Zealand wicketkeeper and renowned commentator Ian Smith will be holding the mic during the marquee event, starting on Sunday (October 16) in Australia with the qualifying round matches.

Smith will be joined by another veteran commentator, Ravi Shastri. While Shastri has done commentary after finishing his coaching stint with Team India in November last year, it will be his first ICC tournament as a commentator since the 2017 Champions Trophy.

Legendary names such as Sunil Gavaskar and Ian Bishop are also part of the commentary team. Notably, the duo has a lot of experience having spent more than two decades in the media and broadcasting.

Among the modern greats, Adam Gilchrist and Dale Steyn feature in the commentary panel while the recently-retired cricketer Eoin Morgan will be seen performing commentary duties alongside Carlos Brathwaite.

Sri Lanka will take on Namibia in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup opener in Geelong, while Netherlands will play UAE later in the day at the same venue.
