Fri, Jul 12, '13

West Indies captain Dwayne Bravo has taken the responsibility for his team's ouster from the tri-series and admitted that he is yet to get accustomed to his new role, which reflected on his side's performance in the tournament.

On Tuesday, India beat Sri Lanka by 81 runs by D/L method to eliminate the West Indies from the final race.

"Obviously it [captaincy] is a big responsibility and the performance of the team reflects on the captain," Bravo told reporters in Port of Spain.

"No one is shying from the success of the team and I am gonna try my best all the time to make sure that winning factor and that winning attitude is instilled into the entire team. I myself , whether it is due to injury or slow over rates, have some key things I need to work on as a leader. It is a new form to me, a new role so I have to get accustomed to it and address it as quickly as possible," he said.
