Both Wright and Bopara are part of the 15-man party to tour Island nation over the next couple of weeks to participate in the marquee tournament, where http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 two years
ago.
The defending champions have been pooled with former T20 champs http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Afghanistan-c745 in Group A, in the 12-team mega event. They are scheduled to play two warm up games against traditional rivals, Australia (September 17) and

since then.
On the other hand Wright, a right-handed batsman, who also bowls right-arm medium pace, has impressed fans and selectors with impressive performances for Sussex Sharks in the recently concluded Friends Life T20 tournament, and is being
tipped as favourite for a berth in the World T20 playing XI, ahead of Bopara.
He also had a productive stint with Melbourne Stars in the inaugural edition of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746’s domestic Twenty20 competition, the Big Bash League, earlier this year.
"You’ve to put Ravi out of his misery. I know him from my Essex days, when he goes through a trot like this it takes him a long time to come out of it," Hussain told Sky Sports. "Luke is a very good cricketer, has
played brilliantly for Sussex this season and deserves his chance."
"He used to get frenetic if he had faced four dot balls and then he would over-hit and lose his shape, but he doesn't need to over-hit because he is a very strong man. This is a lad who can play check drives for six...he is not just a
county bully,” he added further.
