leading run scorer. In March 2012, Italy took part in the World Twenty20 Qualifier in the United Arab Emirates, having qualified for the event by being runners-up in the European T20 Championship in Jersey and Guernsey earlier in July 2011. Bonora was selected as captain in Italy's fourteen man squad for the qualifier. He made his Twenty20 debut against Oman in their first match, which Italy won. He made eight further appearances during the tournament, the last of which came against Kenya. In his nine appearances in the tournament, he scored 98 runs at an average of 19.60, with a high score of 40 not out. Italy finished the tournament in tenth place and therefore missed out on qualification for the 2012 World Twenty in Sri Lanka. In April 2013, he was selected in Italy's fourteen man squad as captain for the World Cricket League Division Three in Bermuda. His final appearances for Italy came in the 2014 and 2016 editions of the World Cricket League Division Four.
