West Indies Cricket Team is all set to lock horns against Australia for a 2 Match Test Series. This Test Series is going to be played in Australia and is a part of the World Test Championship 2021-23. The 1st Test Match is set to commence on 30 November.
West Indies would be looking to start afresh after their disastrous T20 World Cup 2022. West Indies are coming back off successive triumphs against England and Bangladesh. The Men in Maroon don’t have a promising record in Australia and are going to play Test Series in Australia after 6 years.
Desmond Haynes on Team
Lead Selector Desmond Haynes made some interesting comments after naming the squad. “We have a core group of players who have been part of the Test squad and have performed well. We have played two series this year – against England and Bangladesh – and won both. We have been playing good Test cricket and expect to do well against the Australians on their home turf.” said Desmond
“We have one newcomer to the team in Tagenarine Chanderpaul. He equipped himself very well in the West Indies Championship four-day matches and also did a very good job at the top of the order against Bangladesh A in Saint Lucia this summer. He has what it takes to do well at the highest level. Roston Chase has returned to the squad as an allrounder and we believe his experience and skill set will be beneficial and Shamarh Brooks has also returned to bolster the middle-order batting.” he added.
Great Chance for West Indies
The Men in Maroon have a slim chance to make it to the WTC final. But they can be the party spoilers as Australia would be aiming for a whitewash to stake a claim in WTC. West Indies, the arsenal is their bowling as they have got pacers who can easily rattle batters on a given day.
West Indies Test Squad:
Kraigg Brathwaite (Captain), Jermaine Blackwood (Vice Captain), Nkrumah Bonner, Shamarh Brooks, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Roston Chase, Joshua Da Silva, Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph, Kyle Mayers, Anderson Phillip, Raymon Reifer, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales, Devon Thomas
