Phil Salt, recalling his childhood in Barbados, returns to the island where he grew up, aiming to lead England’s charge in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. His deep ties to Barbados influence his approach to the tournament as he gears up to make an impact with his hard-hitting batting style.
Having moved to Barbados at a young age and spent significant years there, Salt cherishes the laid-back atmosphere and strong cricket culture of the island. His experience in the Caribbean includes playing alongside teammates like Chris Jordan and Jofra Archer, who share similar backgrounds.
Salt, who recently achieved milestones in T20 cricket including back-to-back centuries against the West Indies, reflects on his journey from watching England win the World Cup to now representing his country on the same stage. His aspiration is clear – to contribute to England’s success and potentially lift the trophy in Bridgetown, where the final will be held.
