The Qualifier matches for the T20 World Cup 2028 are all set to commence soon. And this time also, fans will be able to see players they have seen earlier for the full-time members will now be a part of an associate team. It is none other than the former Australian player, Moises Henriques.
Moises Henriques will be playing for Portugal in the T20 World Cup qualifier matches for the 2028 edition. The line-up of Portugal in the same has not been confirmed, but the addition of Moises Henriques to the squad is likely to take place. And this will be a big positive for the Portugal team, as they aim to make it to the big tournament.
For Moises Henriques, it will be stepping back to the international cricket once again. He was a key member of the Australian team across the limited overs format, but went on to be excluded from the side for the last few years.
Our Take
With Moises Henriques joining Portugal in the T20 World Cup qualifier matches, he will now be among the few players to have played for different nations in the game. Earlier we also saw David Wiese doing the same, and maybe in the upcoming edition of the tournament, we could see Moises Henriques joining the list. He has been playing the T20 leagues for a long time, and decided that it is time to make his comeback in international cricket.
