SINGAPORE: Captain Amjad Mahboob believes that Singapore are better prepared for this round of ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifiers than they were three years ago as the team seeks to make history.
The 41-year-old Mahboob was part of the side who finished sixth in Group A in 2019 in a tournament which took place just three months after their first ever T20I.
Now more experienced in the international arena, and with positive results against Papua New Guinea and Malaysia under their belt in recent series, Singapore go into the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup Global Qualifier B confident of springing a surprise and making their first ever World Cup.
"We have worked very hard since the last time we played in the CWC qualifiers. We know the areas we need to improve and I'm very confident we'll be better than last time," said Mahboob.
"Preparations have been excellent. We've played against PNG and Malaysia as well as a good team from Pakistan, who have provided a very good test. Overall, we are very satisfied and we are looking forward to getting to Zimbabwe," he added.
