Young Australia Face World Champion

Brisbane: Captain Darren Sammy wants the West Indies to play like world champions when they meet Australia in a one-off Twenty20 international on Wednesday.

West Indies are the Word T20 champions and their match against Australia is coming on the heels of a dreaded whitewash in a five-match ODI series, reports CMC.

Sammy said his men have not played like the team that won the World T20 title in Sri Lanka last year and is therefore promising the Aussies a show at the Gabba.

West Indies are waiting on the fitness of Chris Gayle who just 15 runs short of 1000 T20 international runs, who has not played since hurting his side during the third ODI in Canberra.

The uncapped Queensland and Brisbane Heat batsman Joe Burns has joined the squad as cover for Adam Voges, who suffered a hamstring niggle during his century in the fifth ODI in Melbourne.

Skipper George Bailey, who also has a sore hamstring, is still doubt. Ben Rohrer set to make his debut and the fast bowler Nathan Coulter-Nile also has a strong chance of playing his first international.
