Darren Sammy geared up for the Test series against Bangladesh – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 and wants his team to be more competitive in the longer format of the game.
The two-match series begins from November 13, at Dhaka, with both the teams looking to make a mark at the game’s ultimate format.
The Caribbean men struggled to deliver the goods consistently over the last couple of decades but they seem to be moving towards the right direction recently, having comprehensively beaten http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 at home and also giving tough times to some of the world’s
best teams like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
The biggest victory however, came last month, when they outclassed the rest of the world to clinch the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, which is a mark of the sport’s revival in the Caribbean islands.
Sammy wants to instil a sense of confidence in his team for Test cricket and thinks that a series victory over the minnows is going to make them believe that they can deliver the goods against the best in the business as well.
“It is more of a belief factor. We have played some good series over the years where we were competing against high-ranked teams, now we believe we can be even more competitive and get results over higher-ranked teams,” Sammy said.
The Test series will be followed by a limited-over competition, comprising five One Day Internationals (ODIs) and a T20. The Caribbean men’s strength lay in the shorter version of the sport and will start as clear favourites for a whitewash
against the home team.
However, there is a question-mark over their credentials in Tests, which remains the pinnacle of the game in the opinion of most former players, which is the reason why the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 skipper believes that the forthcoming series is
crucial for his side.
He added, “It's important to come here and win matches and it's a challenge we put on ourselves. Just like we forced ourselves to try and win the T20 World Cup, we achieved that and we are now looking forward to the next series which
is against Bangladesh. We believe we can achieve our goals.”
