Caribbean flavor adds spice to t20 cricket games

The West Indies cricket team has been a beleaguered unit for the past two weeks now. After an impasse between their board and the cricketers, the West Indies team shockingly pulled out of their tour of India. With uncertainties hovering over Windies international cricket, it looked all too murky for the cricketers.

But be all that as it may, the marquee West Indian cricketers such as Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, Darren Sammy and Andre Russell have all been roped in by the South African cricket franchises for the upcoming edition of t20 cricket games.

Besides the other overseas signing of England cricketer Craig Kieswetter, these West Indians will be the only bunch of overseas professionals participating in this domestic South African T20 league.

As the old adage goes: One man’s loss is another man’s gain. This is exactly how the Slam T20 organizers will be looking at things. Undoubtedly, the West Indians are the most entertaining, flamboyant and mercurial cricketers in the world and this T20 tournament precisely needs that extra spice to add to the excitement.

Given the way these West Indian stalwarts play their cricket, the South African public will be guaranteed of high-octane drama throughout the T20 League. Some days the men from the Caribbean might look mere pedestrians, but on good days, they will fire on all cylinders by exuding jaw-dropping skills.

After trying hard to absorb the West Indian mavericks for a long time, the organizers have finally managed to nail the deal. And as the tournament gathers momentum, we will soon see the impact of the West Indian giants.

On the fantasy cricket front, we think all these men from the Caribbean will have a huge role to play.

Dwayne Bravo- As we all know he is one of the leading all-rounders in limited overs cricket and his contribution in various domestic T20 Leagues is well recognized by the cricketing fraternity. His role with both bat and ball for the Dolphins will be huge. A must in all fantasy T20 Leagues.

Chris Gayle- The big Jamaican has been plagued with injuries lately, but he looks all geared up for this competition. The Lions will be strongly pinning their hopes on this Jamaican Tornado to go all guns blazing from the word go. Wonder how many balls are gonna disappear from the park?

Darren Sammy- How many people actually remember this man leading Windies to the T20 Title in Sri Lanka not too long ago? A captaincy material with the ability to change the course of a game. A complete package. The Titans will be itching to get him on the field.

Kieron Pollard- The already formidable unit have signed the big hitting all-rounder from Trinidad. He has been approached by several franchises and is one of the hot picks for any T20 league. Expect some monster hitting and of course, some brilliance in the field.
