Nottinghamshire batsman James Taylor hopes to find match-winning form during the Club's trip to Barbados in March.

Tour company Especially Barbados are the official travel partners of the tournament and offer seven night trips which include flights, transfers, accomodation, tickets and access to organised events from £990 per person.

"The facilities in Barbados are excellent and the fact that we get to play against tough opposition makes it all worthwhile," said Taylor.

"I spent three weeks out there on a Lions tour a couple of years ago and the island is perfect. It's a great way to get up to speed for the new season."

Taylor has quickly established himself at Trent Bridge and became an instant regular in all formats following his switch from Leicestershire.

"If we can win out there it's a really good start to the season and will stand us un good stead when the new campaign begins," he said.

"No one likes losing games and as much as it's a warm-up tour, for us it's crucial to win as many games as we can."
