This is what you will need in India – Daren Sammy
Daren Sammy said that there is a variety in his bowling attack to take 20 wickets in the West Indies. He said that his team can challenge India’s batting lineup by following a strategy working under various circumstances.
“You have Shamar Joseph, which is very skidti, Jayden, who has a strong front leg and can swing the ball both, then you have Aljari Joseph, which is with his height and he can bounce. So, again, we believe in him, especially the way he is bowling last year,” said.
“The ability to take 20 wickets, because you will need this in India. If you cannot take 20 wickets in India, you are on the back leg and we have a bowling line-up, especially from Seam Department, which can take 20 wickets.”
We should take inspiration from New Zealand – Daren Sammy
The West Indies have been preparing to win their first Test series in India since 1983. Sammy said that his side would not travel with a defensive mindset. He revealed that the coaching staff is closely analyzing data in recent weeks to finalize the strongest possible Xi.
Sammy also said that he would take inspiration from New Zealand’s clean sweep against India at the end of 2024. He urged his players to learn in ways that implement the same strategy in ways working for Kiwi and in Indian conditions.
“We are definitely going there with the mentality to win. We are not just going to go there and think,” Oh, this is India “. No. New Zealand went there and did incredibly good and we should take inspiration. But then, it is understanding the things that New Zealand did in those situations and tried to simplify it with his people,” he said.
