BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) — Assistant Coach Roddy Estwick believes West Indies are better poised now than three years ago to carve out a positive series result on their proposed tour of England.
On their last tour of the United Kingdom in 2017, the Caribbean side pulled off an astonishing victory in the second Test at Leeds, but suffered heavy defeats in the two other Tests to go down 2-1 in the three-Test series.
“For me, I think we might be a better team when we go to England this time,” Estwick said while overseeing training sessions at Kensington Oval for the Barbadian group selected in the 30-man provisional squad.
West Indies will travel with 25 players to the UK for the proposed three-Test series in July, which will mark cricket’s first-ever tour played in a biosecure environment due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
West Indies are holders of the coveted Wisden Trophy after upsetting England 2-1 in a three-Test series in the Caribbean last year.
