The all-rounder stated that he and his generation of Caribbean cricketers are proud of the legacy they are leaving behind.
“It’s important for us to have our own identity and not always be in the shadow of the previous legends. Obviously, what these guys have done in the 70s, 80 and early 90s. We respect that and these are the guys who inspired us to play the game.
“This is a format that was born in 2008 or something like that, for us to dominate the way we dominate in that short period of time in a fairly new format – I remember having a conversation with you (Sammy) that ‘yes, Sir Viv and Sir Gary have their own legacy, Sir Clive Lloyd and these guys, but we have our opportunity to create our own.’ We should be proud of ourselves.
“We create our own legacy. Some people might think this is a format that a lot of people don’t respect. But the reality is this is an ICC tournament. And it’s a tournament that is sanctioned by ICC cricket so we should be proud of what we have achieved.”
