KOLKATA, India (AP) West Indies captain Darren Sammy is confident his team can win a second World Twenty20 title, comparing his squad to the Caribbean team of the 1970s and 80s that dominated the longer formats.
Sammy says at a press conference Tuesday that his squad has ''15 potential match-winners'' as it aims for its second title following victory in 2010.
Sammy identified opener Chris Gayle as the biggest threat to other teams while naming Andre Russell, Samuel Badree and Marlon Samuels as players to watch in the 16-team tournament which began with a preliminary qualifying league on Tuesday.
The West Indies' campaign opens with a Group 1 match of the Super 10s against former champion England in Mumbai on March 16. Sri Lanka, South Africa and a qualifier complete their group.
