BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - THE West Indies team can rise to the pinnacle of Twenty20 cricket with a win in their lone match in this version of the discipline during their tour of Bangladesh to be played on December 10.
The regional side captured the World T20 title last month in Sri Lanka after defeating the home team in the final of the tournament to win their first major world title in 33 years.
The world T20 champions will head to Bangladesh later this month with a solid year of cricket behind them.
The team is currently ranked second in the T20 rankings, trailing only Sri Lanka.
Coach Otis Gibson is targeting for his team to build on their success in 2012 by making it to the top five in the ICC Test rankings in 12 months' time.
"We have had a pretty solid 2012 so far so, we want to finish on a winning note," Gibson said in Barbados before the team's departure for Bangladesh.
"The aim is to find ways of moving up the (Test rankings) table. Because Bangladesh are below us, we will only be playing for two or three points. Our aim is to break into the top five in the next 12 months if possible," Gibson said.
West Indies are currently at number seven, above New Zealand and bottom-placed Bangladesh, their opponents in the upcoming two-Test tour starting November 13 in Mirpur.
