Abu Dhabi: The Chris Gayle-led West Indies squad comprises a few who turned millionaires after playing for the Stanford Superstars recently and a few new faces who are looking to perform at the highest level.
"It was a good feeling to be part of that. But we are over and done with that now. Our main target now is Pakistan and we are hoping to play some good cricket," said Gayle, who led the Superstars to a US$ 20 million winner's purse.
"We have a couple of new faces in the squad like (Lionel) Baker and (Brendon) Nash. It is a chance for them to step up to international cricket.
The seniors in the team will guide them as well as we go through but they also need to learn. They need to move from strength to strength," Gayle said.
