Brazil's Twenty20 competition
Brazil's annual Twenty20 tournament was held on November 8 and 9 in the southern city of Curitiba, bringing together 40 players from around the nation. Teams from BrasÃlia, São Paulo and Curitiba played a total of six games over the two days. The eventual winner was São Paulo, with 3 wins from four matches.
In terms of cricket development, the Twenty20 showed significant improvement in the skills and game sense of the Brazilian players. Four years ago when the T20 began here, there was one Brazilian player. Now they have a strong contingent of local players who have the ability to match it with seasoned cricket veterans.
If I were the ICC chairman. This is the country Brazil that I would be investing dollar after dollar. Its always hot its got a huge popluation and i think 20/20 cricket is a game that would really cathch on over there.
