    In preparation for the 2018 T20 World Cup in Australia, all 16 captains were photographed in a single frame.

    Digital Desk: On Sunday, the T20 World Cup will begin with a qualifying match between Sri Lanka and Namibia. Before the start of the tournament, all 16 captains were photographed as they attended the "Captain's Day," where they addressed the media regarding the main event and the state of their teams. 

    The image of all the captains together was posted on the ICC's official Instagram account. ICC tweeted, "All 16 captains in one frame."
    Australia will play New Zealand on October 22 to kick off the Super 12 tournament. India and Pakistan will face off at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on October 23. 

    The winning side at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 on November 13 in Melbourne would get a check for USD 1.6 million, the International Cricket Council (ICC) had previously announced.
