McCullum eager to reunite with DJ Bravo for CPL

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad,  CMC- Star New Zealand batsman Brendon McCullum says he is excited about the prospects of reuniting with West Indies allrounder Dwayne Bravo when he makes his debut in the HERO Caribbean Premier League (CPL) which begins later this month.

The New Zealand cricketer will be playing alongside Bravo, a Trinidad and Tobago national, for the Port of Spain based Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) in the six franchise tournament.

McCullum and Bravo are members of the Gujarat Lions which emerged as one of the leading teams in the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL).

“It’s going to be pretty cool to play on the same team as Dwayne. He’s the King of Trinidad by all accounts,” said McCullum, who also featured with Barbadian Dwayne Smith in prolific opening partnerships during the IPL.

“So I’m looking forward to playing with him there and experiencing different cultures. Hopefully we can continue on the winning way that was experienced last year.”
