New Zealand pacer Kyle Jamieson is looking forward to reunite with Royal Challengers Bangalore as he believes that the UAE leg would provide him a ‘head-start’ going into the ICC T20 World Cup. The Kiwis are scheduled to play India three days later at the Dubai International Stadium. “It certainly gives us, [and] me a little bit of a head-start in terms of getting used to those conditions and those grounds,” ESPNcricinfo quoted Jamieson as saying. “It's nice to have a block of T20 cricket going into the World Cup and, like I said, just a good chance to practice some T20 skillsets in the venues we're going to be playing on,” he added. But just being involved around T20 cricket for a period of time, sort of, allows you to get into that sort of a mode,” he added.
