Shivnarine Chanderpaul is confident over his team’s prospects in the upcoming T20 World Cup - Cricket News Update
Veteran West Indian batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, starting next month.
The 38-year-old-batsman has termed the arrival of swashbuckling batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CH-Gayle-c1221, as the most positive development for the team and feels that it has served as a great morale-booster for the younger players.
Gayle made a comeback into the national side after a 15-month exile, and has been in an imperious touch ever since, he was the most influential element in West Indies’ recent victories against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754.
Chanderpaul is also impressed with an array of all-rounders in the team and believes that the depth in West Indian bowling and batting line would give them an edge in the mega-event.
“We also have a set of good all-rounders in the team. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Bravo-c1379 will be important to the prospects of the team,” said the left-handed batsman.
“Marlon Samuels and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 coming down the order, we have a good lineup.”
The former Windies skipper praised Sammy under whose captaincy the Caribbean team has shown a gradual progress and improved their consistency this year.
After leveling the ODI series against the visiting Australians, the West Indians comprehensively outclassed the Kiwis in the T20Is, ODIs and Tests in a recently concluded home-series.
“I can only hope that the issues are now all a thing of the past. We can now go out and play some good cricket,” Chanderpaul reckoned.
Windies are touted as among the favourites to clinch the next month’s T20 mega-event on the back of several players including Gayle, Kieran Pollard, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DR-Smith-c1401, all of whom had very successful stint in the last edition of
Indian Premier League (IPL).
