Hope sees perfect opportunity for series win

Shai Hope

West Indies batsman Shai Hope reckons the upcoming test series against England as the perfect opportunity for his side to come out with a series win.

Speaking at a virtual press conference on Tuesday, the 26-year-old was referencing the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic which caused nearly a near three-month hiatus for the sport and suggested his side now has a chance to better deal with the English bowlers.

Quizzed about the West Indies coming up against the “big names” such as James Anderson and Stuart Broad he responded: “The names speak for themselves but cricket plays on the day. We can’t play names especially in a series like this. It’s the first series back for all of us and it is a perfect opportunity for us to showcase our skills and win the series.”
