Caribbean tour.
The medium fast bowler, who has had a successful stint with Kochi Tuskers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kerala-c803 in the season four of the lucrative Indian Premier League reckoned his experience of playing in the 2010 World Twenty20 championship in Caribbean would help him a lot in the
upcoming itinerary.
"The experience of having played a few matches in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 during the T20 World Cup will certainly help me,” said the medium pacer who relies more on outswingers, legcutters and accuracy, than on outright pace. “I have a better understanding of how
to bowl in the conditions there," he added further.
