KOLKATA – All-rounder Carlos Brathwaite is poised to take up a lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL) contract with Delhi Daredevils next month, but at the moment the only thing occupying his thoughts is helping West Indies win this month’s Twenty20 World Cup.

And though the IPL follows quickly on the heels of the World Cup here, Brathwaite was clear on where his priorities were.
“I don’t want to look too far ahead. The most important thing is to do well in the World Twenty20,” Brathwaite stressed.
