West Indies Team News And Possible Combination!

  • Head coach Phil Simmons is relying on this pace bowling to set to tone for the series, but the batting needs to step up if the visitors are to run the hosts close.
  • John Campbell and Kraigg Brathwaite should open the batting for the West Indies.
  • Shai Hope, Shamarh Brooks, Roston Chase and captain Jason Holder should form the middle order, while either Jermaine Campbell or Rahkeem Cornwall should be in the line-up as well.
  • Fit-again Shannon Gabriel will be one of the bowlers to watch out for, but Kemar Roach and Alzarri Joseph are also more than capable of troubling the hosts.
