Paul almost a ‘shoo-in’ for first test

Keemo Paul

West Indies all-rounder Keemo Paul has staked a strong claim to force his way into the Caribbean’s side final XI for the test match against England later this month following his excellent returns with the ball in his recent Regional first-class outing.  

Paul, who has been in and around the West Indies side for the better part of 2018, has only gotten two opportunities at the test level.  His first in the Caribbean against Bangladesh – his debut – last July and the other four months later against India in Rajkot where he went wickless but stroked a promising innings of 47 in Windies first innings. 

He was then excluded for the final test match of that series and did not feature in West Indies’ most recent test matches against Bangladesh that followed.
