“My experience with Derbyshire will help lead the bowling line-up and there’s Dwayne Bravo as well. We have a lot of guys who have been playing a lot of T20 franchise cricket around the world and we could feed off each other with our experience and when different situations in the game come up, we can come together and have a plan to go ahead,” ESPNcricinfo quoted Rampaul as saying.
T20 World Cup: I’ll try to do my best whatever the situation is, says Rampaul: “Yeah, definitely see myself doing a top-tail role for the West Indies. I’ve done a lot of practice bowling in the three areas of T20 cricket and whatever situation I’ve to play for the West Indies, I’ll try to do my best. I strive on the tough areas of the game to come out on top. So, whatever situation I’m put under, I’ll try to come out on top,” he added.

We know that the games come quick and fast. The experienced guys, more so, will know how to manage themselves to play back-to-back games or play games every other day with recovery and getting stuff done. Yeah, the experience will help us throughout the tournament,” he added
