As The Brian Lara Cricket Academy will be rocking as the Trinbago Knight Riders lock horns with the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in a massive Republic Bank CPL clash...
And with title number five firmly in sight, pacer Ali Khan says TKR has the firepower to go all the way this season.
00:00Ali, I know you guys are getting ready for five games in Frinidad, starting with the Antigua and Barbada Falcons. How ready are you?
00:08Yeah, we are ready. You know, we've been preparing well. We are here again for our first practice at home after a good tour on the road.
00:16Two games out of three, so that was a good start for us and we are really looking forward to our home leg.
00:21What must you be wary of when taking on the Falcons?
00:25You know, they beat us in Antigua, so now is the time to get back at them and get this win at home in front of our fans.
00:32So I think the most important thing will be our fans coming out to support us and they will be definitely giving us that extra momentum that we need.
00:41Regarding you, I know you haven't gotten a game looking forward to playing in this year's CPL.
00:45Yeah, definitely haven't got a chance yet, but whenever my opportunity comes, I'm sure I'll be ready and we're doing all the preparation that's needed.
00:53And whenever the coach and captain calls me up, I'm sure I'll be ready for it.
00:57What work have you been putting in in the meantime?
00:59Yeah, working on different skills with, you know, of course, the champion DJ Bravo is an experienced coach now.
01:04And just learning from, you know, senior players, coach, you know, so we have a really good squad, which is helping each and everyone on and off the field.
01:13So yeah, just working on my skills and trying to be ready for the game.
01:17Do you think you all can win another title this year?
01:19Yeah, definitely. I think we are a really good side and TKR is always, you know, in contention for a trophy and that's the final aim.
01:27And that's what we are here to do. And hopefully we're going to bring that trophy back to Trinidad.
01:33On a final note, tell us about the team. Any injuries? How are things shaping up?
01:38No, everything is good. People are coming out here training. So yeah, looking forward to the game tomorrow and just getting ready for the game tomorrow.
