Champions in the past and strugglers in the present, West Indies have had a rollercoster ride in ICC World Cups. Currently they have no death of explosive players in their present squad but as a unit they don’t pack enough punch. The World Cup 2019 is a massive challenge for West Indies but the team has done well in the recent times so there is plenty to look forward to.
West Indies Squad World Cup 2019
Jason Holder (capt), Fabian Allen, Carlos Brathwaite, Darren Bravo, Sheldon Cottrell, Shannon Gabriel, Chris Gayle, Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope (wk), Evin Lewis, Ashley Nurse, Nicholas Pooran, Kemar Roach, Andre Russell, Oshane Thomas.
Can T20 superstars bring the magic in ODI?
West Indies are loaded with T20 superstars. Chris Gayle is in re-hot form while Andre Russell is hitting sixes for fun. Shimron Hetmyer and Nicholas Pooran are dangerous batsman. The bowling revolves around Kemar Roach, Jason Holder and Oshane Thomas who are doing well in the recent times.
The flat England wickets are ideal for West Indies batsmen to unleash their flurry and the pace battery of Roach, Holder and Thomas can be effective. So West Indies are indeed a force to reckon with but once again their fate depends on how well they step up as a combined unit.
