Former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 and his men to target the World No. 1 ranking in the ODI format of the game.
The Darren Sammy led Caribbean contingent last week clinched World T20 trophy in Sri Lanka, their first global title since the 2004 Champions Trophy. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301, the veteran left-handed batsman, feels the side has the necessary firepower in it to excel in the longer formats of the game as well.

"Out of 15 big hitters in the world, six belong to our team. We’ve a couple of good spinners and decent fast bowlers...We're close to being quite a balanced side," he added further.
Former Pakistan skipper Moin Khan has advised out of form http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482 to take a break from the game to regain his lost confidence.

His poor form in the recently concluded World T20 in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Moin-Khan-c77092 did not agree with the retirement suggestions.
"I don't think he should retire. He can still serve Pakistan cricket for a few more years. All he needs to do now is take a break from the game, spend some time with his family and come back before the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 tour fresh and confident," Moin said.
