DELHI, India (CMC) — West Indies Twenty20 captain Rovman Powell says he will try to borrow the detailed planning involved in the Rajasthan Royals set-up, when he leads his side into next month’s T20 World Cup.

Powell is part of the Royals outfit which have been one of the standout teams in the Indian Premier League this season, currently lying second on 16 points only by virtue of an inferior run rate to leaders Kolkata Knight Riders.

The 30-year-old said one of the hallmarks of the Royals season was the level of planning being undertaken behind the scenes.

“One thing I like with this team is the way how they plan. I think we as West Indians can plan like that,” Powell said Tuesday, following Royals’ defeat to Delhi Capitals.

“They go into specifics, they go into detail, and I think that has accounted for the overall success of the team.

“And it is something I’m looking to take forward from a personal standpoint and see how best I can rub it off to my fellow West Indians.”

Powell will lead West Indies into the June 1-29 tournament which will see the joint hosts taking on Afghanistan, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Uganda in Group C of the opening round.

The Jamaican, who has enjoyed success since being appointed captain 18 months ago, will also be a key member of his side’s batting group.

However, his opportunities in the IPL have been limited, with only four innings from which he has gathered only 77 runs.

His fortunes have been in contrast to that of the franchise, and Powell said another feature of their success had been the communication at all levels of the playing group.

“I think it’s been the communication between the captain, the coach and the players — communication goes a far way,” Powell explained.

“Communication brings clarity throughout the group and I think that has been a driving force in our success so far.”
