TAYLOR HAPPY WITH CAPTAINCY ROLE

In the Bangladesh Premier League  Chittagong Kings Captaincy changed hands with Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor replacing Mahmudullah Riyad , who is believed not to have been enjoying the role.

The Kings have in their books Top cricketer like England all rounder Ravi Bopara, New Zealand's Jacob Oram and Australian Shaun Tait. This only widens Taylor's horizon as a captain and gives him the necessary on the field training as to what is expected of him  when pressure times call. There he has a group of senior world class beaters who are not concerned about the affairs of team effort but their individual successes. We can safely say he is going it alone and he stands to be tested here if his man management skills are up to scratch.

Taylor who says he is delighted to be captaining the Kings "The appointment is definately a boost for me  ahead of Zimbabwe's tour to the West Indies" he said. " I see the going is tough out here but the main goal is to get the team further up in the log, and l believe we have a chance to make even better" he added.

"I feel really honored to be leading such a big team with such big names within its ranks. I have to concentrate on game by game every time" said Taylor in a telephone interview with Off The Crease. 
The Zimbabwe and Midwest Rhinos top order batsman has scored a massive 269 runs in seven matches and has a total of three half centuries....
