DCU announce Jørn Storgaard as Danish captain for T20Is
Dansk-Cricket Union (DCU) have made a formal announcement, stating that Jørn Storgaard will be captaining Denmark cricket team in T20 internationals effective immediately. According to sources, the decision was taken unanimously by the board members and team staff. Storgaard debuted in June '00 and has been among the best ODI batters since his introduction. While he did struggle to score runs in Tests, he is enjoying a purple patch this year as Denmark's highest run-scorer in the format. Recently, he scored three consecutive hundreds in the Europa League and was a pivotal player in Denmark's victory.
"I am filled with joy.", said the 25 year-old. "My mum was the one who broke the news to me. She picked the head coach's call and was absolutely flabbergasted with the revelation. I can't believe it honestly. A dream come true for me. I have had talks with the coach and support staff about what they will be expecting from me. We are excited to perform in this new format. I don't know when Denmark will be playing a T20 international game but I know I am highly looking forward to it."
