West Indian Captain Darren Sammy optimistic ahead of Test Series against Pakistan
Captain of the West Indies team, Darren Sammy, appeared confident ahead of the first Test Series against Pakistan and claimed that his side will enter the tournament with a belief to win.
"We believe we can win the series," assured the West Indies captain.
The skipper trusts his team’s abilities and believes that they have the advantage of performing on their home grounds.
"We believe this because we have worked hard in the build-up to the series and we know we have the ability to perform on home turf and get the better of Pakistan. We saw an improved batting performance in the last two matches of the
one-day series and everyone in the team is feeling confident and fully prepared,” said Sammy.
He promised that his side will retain their match-winning composure that they developed in the last two wins in the one day internationals.
"We fought back really well to win the last two matches in the one-day format and we will take that momentum and belief into the Test matches. Test cricket is a different form of cricket, so we know we have to make the adjustment,”
Sammy affirmed.
