England fast bowler Liam Plunkett is all set to have a face-off against the big-hitter Chris Gayle, when the Three Lions faces West Indies in the ODI series. Gayle played a good hand in the one-off T20I match against England. He scored a quick-fire 40, as the world beaters in the T20 format got the better of England by 21 runs. Gayle whacked three fours and six boundaries, in his 21-ball knock.

The ODI series starts on Tuesday at Old Trafford, and both the sides will look to take an early lead in the 5-match series. West Indies have called back Gayle, Marlon Samuels and Jerome Taylor for the limited overs series. Most of the Caribbean players have played in the CPL, and they will look to get the momentum going.

“I don’t think anyone knows (how to bowl to Gayle) do they?” said Plunkett. “He’s such a good player he just hits the ball out of the park wherever he wants.””It’s good they have their experienced players back, a lot of stars, and that’s what you want to play against,” said 32-year-old Plunkett.”You want to beat the best they can bring over.”

Comfortable in my skin: Plunkett

Plunkett sounded confident. he also added that the home team have done well in the past two years, even though they failed to get their hands on to trophies. “In one-dayers we’re a good team, we haven’t won any silverware obviously but in terms of the last two years with the amount of games and series we are a confident team,” Plunkett said.m”We feel like we should beat them (West Indies).” “I’m quite comfortable in my own skin with England now,” he said. “It’s good to have that feeling and it would be great to be the number one wicket-taker. It would be great to achieve that but also good to win the series.”
