Paceman Dawlat, capable of cranking his speed up past 90mph, has shot into the top 10 of the ICCs T20I bowling rankings, while Najibullah is a batsman with a penchant for big hits. Noor Ali is more of a compiler with the blade but has three T20I fifties to his name from 11 games as well as six half-centuries and a ton in his 32 ODIs. Then theres Shapoor. With his lustrous jet-black locks, and long run-up, the quick looks like a left-arm version of Pakistan great Shoaib Akhtar.The Inzamam effect Inzamam-ul-Haq is the coach of Afghanistan Speaking of Pakistan legends, one of them will be in the dugout in the role of Afghanistan head coach. Inzamam-ul-Haq - the bearded and brilliant but often a little sluggish running between the wickets Inzamam-ul-Haq - will lead the country into their fourth World T20 hoping to continue a stellar run of form. Since the 45-year-old took the reins in October, initially on a temporary basis, Afghanistan have beaten Zimbabwe home and away in both ODI and T20I series, their first series victories over a Test-playing nation, with Mohammad Shahzad smashing a hundred in each of the formats. The Super 10s looks a realistic target for Inzys boys in India.A Mankad and an England seamer Derek Pringle has served as Omans technical consultant Oman will be figuring in their first world tournament this March and they warmed up for it in controversial style during the Asia Cup when spinner Aamir Kaleem Mankaded - or Oman-kaded, if you will - Hong Kong batsman Mark Chapman. They cant possibly have been told to use that divisive, but perfectly legal, tactic by former England all-rounder and Independent and Telegraph scribe Derek Pringle!

Hong Kongs Ryan Campbell played twice for Australia Youll probably be thinking that a lot in the early stages of the World T20 and you wouldnt be going mad if you do. Boyd Rankin is now back in Ireland colours after flirting with the England side a few years back, while Netherlands spinner Roelof van der Merwe - who recently inked a two-year deal with Somerset - played 13 ODIs and 13 T20Is for South Africa between 2009 and 2010 before switching allegiances. Plus, 44-year-old Hong Kong star Ryan Campbell featured in two ODIs for Australia in 2002, scoring 38 against New Zealand and 16 against Sri Lanka, after stepping in temporarily for Adam Gilchrist as wicketkeeper-batsman.Royal connection Preston Mommsen went to the same school as Prince Charles When Scotlands South Africa-born skipper Preston Mommsen earned a place at Gordonstoun school in Scotland on a rugby and cricket scholarship, he was headed for distinguished territory. Thats because a host of Royals, including Prince Charles and Prince Phillip, previously attended the place, as did Duncan Jones (the son of the late David Bowie) and Jason Connery (the son of arguably the best-ever James Bond, Sean Connery). Dutch seamer Logan van Beek didnt school in such hallowed halls, I dont think, but has a noted family connection - he is the grandson of Sammy Guillen, who figured in five Tests for West Indies and three for New Zealand in the 1950s.Sky Sports is the only place you can watch all 35 games in 27 days of the 2016 ICC World T20, starting with Zimbabwe v Hong Kong on Tuesday 8th March at 9am on Sky Sports 2 HD.

SAO PAULO -- The 2016 title race will go down to the final round in Abu Dhabi after Lewis Hamilton won a chaotic Brazilian Grand Prix ahead of Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg, who scored the necessary points to continue his steady march towards his first world championship.The wet race was stopped twice by red flags and featured five safety car periods as rain fell throughout the afternoon, testing the nerves of the drivers and, at times, the patience of the fans. But the tedious stops were outweighed by the thrilling restarts, with Max Verstappen providing the majority of the entertainment with a remarkable drive up and down the field to finally finish on the podium in third.Even with all the interruptions, Hamilton never looked under threat and finished with a healthy 11.4s margin over Rosberg. Verstappen got ahead of Rosberg when the race started under the safety car for the second time, but gambles on intermediate tyres failed to pay off and he dropped down to 16th under the final safety car period, prompting a stunning recovery drive. In the final 12 laps he carved his was past Daniel Ricciardo, Daniil Kvyat, Esteban Ocon, Felipe Nasr, Nico Hulkenberg, Sebastian Vettel, Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez to take a very well deserved third at the flag. Of that group Nasr was one of the other heroes of the race, driving home to an invaluable ninth position on home tarmac which moves Sauber above Manor for tenth in the championship.The one-two finish for Mercedes leaves Rosberg 12 points ahead of Hamilton going to the final round, meaning another podium would secure the title for Rosberg in Abu Dhabi, regardless of where Hamilton finishes. Hamilton, meanwhile, has to aim for victory in the hope Rosberg finishes fourth or lower.Persistent rain in the build up to the race delayed the start by ten minutes and meant the race got underway behind the safety car. Hamilton made a strong start once the safety car peeled into the pits on lap seven and he immediately started building a lead over Rosberg. Verstappen nipped past Kimi Raikkonen at Turn 1 to take third and started to mount his challenge on the Mercedes ahead. The rain continued throughout the first racing laps, but did not stop several drivers changing to intermediates in the hope of finding more performance. Marcus Ericsson in the Sauber was among them, but his race ended on lap 13 when he aquaplaned coming out of the final corner and smashed into the wall by the pit lane exit.Red Bull reacted immediately by pitting for intermediates, with Verstappen making it into the pit lane just before it was closed to remove Ericssons smashed up Sauber. Ricciardo wasnt quite so lucky and peeled into the pits just after the entrance had been closed, incurring a five-second penalty as a result. The safety car was deployed for six laps to clear up the mess, but the rain continued to fall and made conditions treacherous when the race restarted. Kimi Raikkonen proved just how dangerous the conditions were as he aquaaplaned into the pit wall moments after the restart.dddddddddddd He was lucky not to collect another driver, but the debris and carnage that followed convinced race control to red flag the race.The race restarted under the safety car once the rain had eased again and full racing resumed on lap 32 with all cars on the wet tyres. Verstappen seized his chance to pass Rosberg at Turn 1 on the restart by finding a remarkable amount of grip around the outside of Turn 3, slingshotting his Red Bull past the Mercedes. He then started to take time out of race leader Hamilton, but as he got within a second of the lead Mercedes, Hamilton upped his pace and pulled away.Verstappen continued to push regardless and on lap 38 lost the rear of his car on the painted line at the inside of the final corner. The Red Bull slewed sideways up the hill, with the 19-year-old somehow managing to regain control as he approached the wall where Ericsson destroyed his Sauber. Remarkably he retained some forward momentum and even managed to hold off Rosberg into Turn 1 at the start of the next lap.Unperturbed by the loss of control, Verstappen pitted for intermediates five laps later as Red Bull again gambled on the faster of the two wet-weather tyres. He dropped to fifth behind Perez and Sainz as a result of the pit stop but was quicker than the cars in front and was preparing to line up the Toro Rosso for a passing move when Felipe Massa slammed his Williams into the wall on lap 48. It was an emotional moment for the Brazilian at his final home race and he was afforded a guard of honour by Mercedes and Ferrari as he walked down the pit lane in tears. He finally arrived to a very warm welcome at the Williams garage where he hugged every mechanic on the team.With conditions worsening once more, both Red Bulls pitted under the resulting safety car to return to full wet tyres for the final laps of the race. The decision dropped Ricciardo to 12th and Verstappen to 16th, but the fresher tyres gave both drivers an advantage when racing resumed on lap 55. Ricciardos pace was not bad, but Verstappens pace was remarkable and the Dutch teenager passed his teammate for tenth position on lap 59 as his comeback drive kicked into its highest gear.Perhaps the most satisfying of the following seven overtakes to third was the one on Vettel, who he edged wide and off the track into the final corner to take fifth. Vettel complained over team radio, but his message fell on deaf ears as almost everyone at Interlagos willed Verstappen back towards a podium finish.The top two finishers had good reasons to be satisfied with their results -- Hamilton because he finally won at his hero Ayrton Sennas home race and Rosberg because he continued on course to his first title -- but it was Verstappens drive to third that will be the defining memory of the 2016 Brazilian Grand Prix.
