The ICC has unveiled an impressive team of commentators for the upcoming Men’s T20 World Cup 2020, co-hosted by the USA and the Caribbean nations. Cricket fans can expect unparalleled viewing experience with insights from some of the biggest names in the sport.
Leading the charge are commentary stalwarts like Ravi Shastri, Nasser Hussain, Ian Smith, Mel Jones, Harsha Bhogle, and Ian Bishop. Their experience and knowledge of the game will provide a strong foundation for the broadcasts.
Adding a fresh perspective are former T20 World Cup champions from both the men’s and women’s sides. Dinesh Karthik, Ebony Rainford-Brent, Samuel Badree, Carlos Brathwaite, Steve Smith, Aaron Finch, and Lisa Sthalekar will share their unique champion’s experience with viewers.

American audiences will be treated to insights from James O’Brien, better known as Jomboy, who makes his World Cup commentary debut. His presence aims to bridge the gap and provide context for the American cricket fans.
The commentary team doesn’t stop there. Cricket fans will also recognize names like Dale Steyn, Graeme Smith, Michael Atherton, Waqar Younis, Simon Doull, Shaun Pollock, and Katey Martin. They’ll be joined by established broadcasters like Mpumelelo Mbangwa, Natalie Germanos, and many more.
To ensure comprehensive coverage, ICC TV will provide extensive programming throughout the 28-day tournament. This includes pre-match shows, analysis during the innings breaks, and post-match wrap-ups.
Building on the success of previous initiatives, ICC TV will introduce a world-first AI-supported vertical video feed for the T20 World Cup.
