Salt's out to be top dog in T20
PHIL SALT has his sights set on becoming the best T20 batter in the world as he bids to fire England to T20 World Cup glory.
Salt has arrived in Sri Lanka for a three-match T20 series, which starts today, ahead of England's opening World Cup clash against Nepal in Mumbai on Sunday week.
The explosive opener has a superb T20 record for England and is second in the ICC T20 rankings behind Indian superstar Abhishek Sharma.
In 50 T20 internationals, Salt has four centuries, an average of 38.5 and a strike rate of 168.
The 29-year-old smashed a career-best 141 not out against South Africa at the end of last summer, as England became the first Test team to score over 300 in a T20 match.
