IPL 2021: RCB’s Kyle Jamieson eyes T20 league as preparation ground for T20 World Cup

Kyle Jamieson, who will feature in the IPL 2021 in September and October, wants to have some good practice to fine-tune his T20 skillsets ahead of the World Cup.

New Zealand and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) paceman Kyle Jamieson feels playing for Virat Kohli’s franchise in the UAE leg of the Indian Premier League (IPL) certainly gives him a ‘head-start’ going into the ICC T20 World Cup. New Zealand start their T20 World Cup campaign against Pakistan in their Super 12s match at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on October 26. The Kiwis play India three days later at the Dubai International Stadium. Jamieson, who will feature in the IPL 2021 in September and October, wants to have some good practice to fine-tune his T20 skillsets ahead of the World Cup. “It certainly gives us, (and) me a little bit of a head-start in terms of getting used to those conditions and those grounds,” ESPNcricinfo quoted Jamieson as saying. “It’s nice to have a block of T20 cricket going into the World Cup and, like I said, just a good chance to practice some T20 skillsets in the venues we’re going to be playing on,” he added.
