REUTERS: The once mighty West Indies struggled to qualify for the Cricket World Cup last year but their fortunes are on the upswing and they will arrive in England a dangerous and unpredictable outfit that nobody will be keen to play.
The recent return of some of their best players following the resolution of a long-running pay dispute with West Indies board has provided a big boost and they certainly do not lack batting firepower. Crowd-pleasing opening batsman Gayle, still going strong at the age of 39, showed he had lost none of his power as he slogged no fewer than 34 sixes for Punjab.He will be vice-captain of the Jason Holder-led team at his fifth World Cup - his one-day international swansong - and enters the event by far the most experienced player in the squad with 10,151 runs in 289 ODIs.
"This will probably be the biggest World Cup, so there will be great expectations and I know we will do very well for the people of the West Indies."
