Dwayne Smith paid tribute to the late Tony Cozier, plus discussed West Indies cricket and his IPL play-off aspirations with Gujarat Lions during a chat with Sky Sports' Mark Butcher.

Legendary commentator Cozier passed away on Wednesday at the age of 75 and Smith hopes a powerful speech the Barbadian made can inspire West Indies to boost their game in all formats.

Smith says all-rounders Carlos Brathwaite and Jason Holder and batsmen Kraigg Brathwaite and Shane Dowrich will be key moving forward as West Indies look to build on their recent World T20 triumph.
