WI vs BAN: We Are Unable To Play Swing And Spin Well- Nicholas Pooran: West Indies team’s limited-overs captain Nicholas Pooran has said ahead of the ODI series against Bangladesh that his team still needs to play spin and swing balls well. Pooran believes the West Indies batsmen are a little late in reading the spin and swing balls in the last match. He also said they need to build a more extensive partnership in the ODIs.
According to Nicholas Pooran, his team needs to play with the right mindset in the ODI format. According to him, some players in the team can play a significant partnership. Also, new players need to play more and more matches.
Let us tell you, the first ODI between West Indies and Bangladesh will be played on July 10 in Guyana. According to India Today, Nicholas Pooran said, ‘If we look at the series played against Pakistan, we had talked a lot and worked hard to build the partnership. One-day cricket doesn’t just require quick runs but long games as well.
WI vs BAN: We have to play as a team in the series and win the series: Nicholas Pooran
Last month, West Indies went for a tour of Pakistan, where they played three ODIs and lost all three. After this, they played a three-match T20 series against Bangladesh, and in this series, the squad defeated Bangladesh 2-0. Pooran said, ‘Our team’s batting needs to do better. The new ball always swings initially, and we need to play these balls well. We have to do well against Bangladesh and win the series. We have to play like a team.
He further said, ‘There are many young players in the team, and it is essential for us to play as a group. The ODI format is quite different from the Test and T20 formats. We just have to play ODI cricket with the right mindset. After the ODI series against Bangladesh, West Indies will play a series of three ODIs and five T20Is against India. India has announced the ODI squad. Shikhar Dhawan has got the captaincy of the team.
