The West Indies open the defence of their World Twenty20 title on Sunday confident they possess the requisite firepower to deliver another successful campaign in Bangladesh.
Sammy, speaking ahead of the group two Super-10 clash against India in Dhaka, said a more experienced West Indies boasts of players ideally suited to dominate in the format.
“If we play to our full potential, we can be a real destructive force,” said the captain, who leads players like the explosive batsman Chris Gayle and star spinner Sunil Narine.
“We’ve got a lot of experienced players who play T20 cricket all over the world, like Gayle, Narine and Dwayne Bravo. We have a great balance in the squad.”
Sammy expected a keen contest on Sunday, saying his team was eager to start the tournament on a winning note.
“It is not going to be easy to win the tournament again. But tomorrow [Sunday] it is all about India and our energies are focused on them.”
