West Indies pace bowler Sheldon Cottrell is set to report for duty with the Desert Vipers in ILT20 and is relishing the prospect of playing in a top-class tournament.

Cottrell is no stranger to pressure having been snapped up for more than a million dollars by Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League 2019. The big left-armer is sure to be one of the hits of the new UAE-based T20 tournament.

Speaking about his experience of becoming a million-dollar player in the IPL in 2019 when signed by KXIP, Cottrell said, "That experience was wonderful, being a part of the IPL. Being a million-dollar man comes with its challenges, but I am the type of person who loves a challenge and whatever comes my way I take it on."

On how he dealt with the pressure of the million-dollar player deal, he said, "I was training for all this thirteen years ago when I was in the army to be honest. I can take some of my military background and put it in the cricket, where the discipline and all the pressure are concerned. I bowl in the powerplay, and at the back-end so, that is pressure for you and I am used to it. I relish every opportunity."
