West Indies Squad 2021 | Rampaul will Play in ICC T20 World Cup
In 2012, Team West Indies procured the World Cup against Team England in Kolkata. By achieving two times ICC T20 World Cup Trophy in the last three years, the West Indies are expecting to make more history. Last time, Rampaul played for the Argentine National Team in 2015. But now, he has joined Team West Indies as a member. It is the first time Chase has been revoked into the team for a T20I match. The CWI’s lead selector said,
“The squad has depth and strength in all areas. The team has tremendous T20 experience and World Cup-winning experience, which will serve the team well. “Our squad consists of world-beating players, which when combined will create a formidable team. My expectations are high for the team, and I think the team has a high chance of defending the championship with the ‘rub of the green.’” The team will achieve another option in the death overs as Rampaul is an extremely experienced bowler who showed his good performance in the last CG Insurance Super50 Cup and the current Hero CPL. He will remarkably uplift the team’s options during the power-play and middle phase. Chase can perform well in the T20s in 2020 and now in 2021. He can weave the innings together while still scoring at a fast pace with a low dot-ball percentage. He can be excellent backing for the explosive players.”
