T20 World Cup: After Italy's groundbreaking qualification for the 2026 T20 World Cup, captain Joe Burns credited behind the scenes hard work but emphasised that it is just the beginning of their broader goals.

Burns, a former Australian Test cricketer who qualifies for the Italians through family heritage, called the moment “surreal”.

“I’m really proud of this group,” Burns told ICC Digital. “A lot of planning and preparation went into it. So it’s satisfying from that aspect from the cricket side as well.”
