Salt is aiming to be top of the world

Nottingham Post

January 30, 2026

CRICKET Phil Salt has his sights set on becoming the best T20 batter in the world as he bids to fire England to T20 World Cup glory.

The explosive opener has a superb T20 record for England and is second in the ICC T20 rankings behind Indian superstar Abhishek Sharma.

The 29-year-old smashed a career-best 141 not out against South Africa at the end of last summer as England became the first Test team to score over 300 in a T20 match.

Salt admits that he is a huge fan of Sharma, who boasts an extraordinary strike rate just shy of 200 and is out to claim his spot as being the best in the world.
