Legendary fast bowler Curtly Ambrose believes the Rovman Powell-led co-hosts West Indies have enough talent to win an unmatched third ICC T20 World Cup title when the competition begins from June 1.


West Indies have won the T20 World Cup twice in 2012 and 2016 respectively. But they had an underwhelming run in the last two editions. But in T20Is, West Indies’s recent form has been encouraging, registering series wins over South Africa, India, and England in the last 14 months at home. “We have a very, very good team. As we speak they [West Indies players] are in Antigua at a camp preparing themselves for the start of the T20 World Cup which is a couple of weeks away.


“I believe once the guys start playing consistent cricket and smart cricket, we can take the trophy. It is not going to be easy, but we are one of only two nations to have won it twice so we are going to try and make it three. And no other nation has ever won it on home soil, so all that is motivation for the guys to do well,” Ambrose was quoted as saying by ICC.
