In the build-up to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard has expressed that his team will take it one game at a time and try to figure out the ways to get the two points. He also said although the defending champions West Indies have a reputation of only going for sixes or big hits, everything else also figures in the result.
Four of the West Indies players in Dwayne Bravo, the skipper himself, Andre Fletcher, and Roston Chase have played extensively on the UAE pitches because of being involved in the Indian Premier League(IPL). Bravo won the IPL title with the Chennai Super Kings while Roston Chase will figure in an all-rounder’s role. The reigning champions will take on England to open their World Cup campaign on 23 October.
