It does not matter if you like T20 or if you are purist. Cricket 2.0 will reveal to you why and how this format, which started off as a shambolic slog fest somewhere in England, has become the future of the sport.

Through exclusive interviews with some of the game's biggest stars on and off the field, the book explores the growth of the IPL, the perceived impact of T20 over the other two traditional formats, and the cocktail of the elements of globalization that promises to take the game beyond borders that we thought it would never transcend.

Give it a read if you like T20 cricket. Read it even if you do not. Either way, this book will offer fascinating insight into the lives of the game's biggest contemporary superstars and change your perspective towards modern cricket. It will teach you to treat T20 as an entirely different sport.
