“We boast a good spin-bowling attack, which is arguably better than that of the South Africans,” said the Zimbabwean all-rounder. “The West Indies are currently struggling to play spin, judging by their series loss against Bangladesh, which predominantly bowled spin. As such, we will be looking to exploit this flaw to our advantage. We have worked on options for our batters in playing spin and fast bowling. Fielding is still a concern, so a lot of work has gone into improving that.”
Zimbabwe will be looking to progress to the business end of the Super League, for the first time since 2006. Meanwhile, Lake is one of five players returning to the tournament. Ryan Burl, Kieran Geyle, Luke Jongwe and Cuthbert Musoko also participated in the 2012 edition held in Australia.
The 2002 event was the most successful for Zimbabwe, as they won the Plate final against Nepal, while wicketkeeper, Tatenda Taibu, was later named Man of the Tournament.
