Sunil Narine looks forward to captaincy

The 34-year-old claims the leadership role is a “new challenge” for him as it requires him to think about how the entire squad is run.

“I’m very happy to be the captain of the Abu Dhabi Knights. It’s a new challenge because now I have to think about the functioning of our entire team and not just focus on my game or my four passes,” Sunil Narin said in a statement.

“It’s something I’m really looking forward to. I grew up on the Knight Riders and the Knight Riders grew on me, so it’s like a family. They have teams everywhere and I love being a part of them. I play at the Emirates Played a lot of cricket so I know what it’s like there.

“If you look at the ADKR lineup, it’s a familiar setup, not a brand new XI that I have to get used to. So it gave me a lot of confidence knowing the quality of my players.

There are also a lot of senior people on the team to whom I can feed back ideas and information. It’s going to be fun, it’s been a long journey with the Knights of the Knights family, and I hope it’s a journey that never ends,” He added.

The Abu Dhabi Knights will face Dubai Capitals in the opening game of the inaugural ILT20 on January 12, with the 34-match finale of the six leagues scheduled for February 12. This will coincide with the opening of the Big Bash League (BBL) in Australia and the SA20 League in South Africa.
