As the cricketing world buckles up for another entertaining ride, here’s a look at some interesting facts involving the 20 participants — Papua New Guinea this time — in the biggest ever cricket tournament.

***PNG lost all three matches during their T20 World Cup debut in 2021, with their wicketkeeper failing to contribute in a single dismissal, leaving them as the only team yet to register a caught-behind dismissal in the event.
***On their path to ensuring a second appearance, PNG went unbeaten, topping the East Asia-Pacific Qualifier last year by winning six consecutive matches on home soil.
***The team boast no fewer than eight recognised all-rounders, offering both right and left-arm bowling options.
***They have 10 survivors from the 2021 campaign, including captain Assad Vala.
