Kemar Roach is confident that the whitewash in the ODI series will not have any effect on the Test series in Bangladesh. Fast bowler Shannon Gabriel will have his inexperienced one-day unit out of place against the experienced team of Tamim Iqbal to ramp up the red-ball bowling stock for the West Indies.
He said, “We did not like the one-day series. We have to understand that it was a very young and inexperienced team. For those people getting back home and learning from it was just a learning curve. Roach said,” “To make your game better and be stronger.” “” Some people from the Test have come here before. We know what to expect. I hope people give better performances. Win some better matches for the West Indies and win some games.
“We have to stay positive and execute our plans at our best. Bangladesh is always a tough tour. People have been working for three weeks. We know what we need to do to score well on the board, and in the match. Take 20 wickets. It’s about going there and giving it our best shot, and putting in a good performance. “
Roach stressed the need for the batsmen to play spin well and to bowl directly to the fast bowlers and reverse swing as soon as possible.
“Hard work for fast bowlers. The pitch is not conducive to speed or any seam movement. It’s all about being consistent and putting the ball in the right areas. It’s very straightforward, challenging the batsmen,” he said. Length is there. Front leg. These are your best chances to succeed mainly in Bangladesh. Try as hard as we can on the ball, try to reverse the ball as quickly as you can. Can bother. “
Roach had good words for Aljari Joseph, who led the bowling attack in the ODI series and is now warming up for the Test.
He said, “His ODI career is going very well. He is in the ICC ODI Team of the Year. It is a good achievement. I know he would like to take a few more wickets under his belt, possibly the first five wickets.” Achieve it. In the test, “Roach said of Joseph. “It’s a learning curve and it’s only a step for her. She has to work hard” And have to believe in yourself, listen to the people around you and help your game, and just try to keep improving. I believe. One day will take Alzari. “
Roach feels that the West Indies have the team to defeat Bangladesh in their backyard, but he knows that it is going to take some “smart cricket”. The first Test will be played in Chattogram from 3 February.
He said, “I’ve played on this ground before. I know a little bit about it. It’s just work that needs to be done. I’m up for it. It’s going to be a good series. I think We can get one out. Roach said, “There is a hat here in Bangladesh, but it is going to take a lot of work, planning, and smart cricket. I think we are good enough to get it done. “
