LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is interested in roping in West Indian batting great Sir Vivian Richards as mentor for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup in the West Indies and United States.

Sources within the PCB revealed ongoing negotiations with Richards. The board is interested in his experience and knowledge, especially considering the T20 World Cup’s West Indies leg. They are highly impressed by his success as a mentor with the Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

However, there’s a hurdle to overcome. Sir Vivian Richards has existing media commitments during the World T20. Despite this challenge, the PCB remains determined to secure Richards’ services. They are actively exploring solutions to address the scheduling issue, highlighting their strong desire to have him mentor the Pakistani squad.

In the World Cup, a total of 20 qualifying teams have been divided into four groups of five, from which the top two teams of every group will make their way to the Super eight round.

In that stage, qualifying teams will once again be divided into two groups of four, from which the top two teams will make their way to the semi-final and then the winners will play the final.

The semi-finals of the event will be played on June 26 and 27 in Guyana and Trinidad, respectively, while the World Cup final will take place in Barbados on June 29.

The venues in West Indies include Barbados’ Kensington Oval, Trinidad’s Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Guyana’s Providence Stadium, Antigua’s Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, St Lucia’s Darren Sammy Cricket Ground, and St Vincent’s Arnos Vale Stadium.

Meanwhile, in the US, three venues will host the games including New York’s Eisenhower Park, Florida’s Lauderhill, and Grand Prairie in Texas.
