Aug 11 : Former Australia all-rounder Moises Henriques will captain Portugal as they bid to qualify for the Twenty20 World Cup for the first time, Cricket Portugal said on Tuesday on Instagram.
Henriques, who played four tests, 16 one-day internationals and 24 T20s for Australia, will lead a 14-man Portugal squad at the T20 World Cup Europe Sub-Regional Qualifier C in Finland.
The 39-year-old all-rounder, who was born in Madeira, the birthplace of Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, retired from Australian domestic cricket last year.
Portugal face Israel, Germany, Greece and Czech Republic in Group B of the tournament, which runs from August 14-20.
