There's a young guy from Australia, Josh Inglis\u2014he did well in the Champions Trophy. Tom Banton is up there as well.

He'll have a lot of confidence going into the new season, but every season brings a new atmosphere and new challenges, with different players in the team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI have no doubt that Sunil, though a man of few words, expresses himself fully through his performances with both the ball and the bat,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He also shared his thoughts on how Sunil Narine might perform in IPL 2025 for defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders. \"Obviously, Narine was the MVP last year, and his team won the championship.
