The Papua New Guinea Barramundis are going to the ICC Men's Twenty-20 World Cup in June.

They have a tough pool, where West Indies, New Zealand, Uganda and Afghanistan will be the teams to beat.

Head coach Tatenda Taibu and Cricket PNG chief executive Richard Done spoke with RNZ Pacific senior sports journalist Iliesa Tora about the team's preparation and how the game is surviving in a rugby league dominated country.
