West Indies and England begin their Three Test series with First Test on Monday, 13 April and will make its day officially on 17 of April at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium situated in Antigua.
Some of the Star West Indian players will miss the Test Series after Vengeance caused at the Tour to India in last October.Dwayne Bravo, Captain of the squad who walked off at the Campaign in India seems to pay the price.But on the other side the West Indian national selectors clam's that they are looking for Young Talent to improve the Squad as a unit in near future.
After failing to make their mark in past months, England opportunity to Write a new book begins here as even a Series win can get all the confidence lost back into the Camp.They are certainly up against an inexperienced home side as the English are definitely expected to seal the deal.
The West Indian camp have conglomeration of Rookies to choose up from.The One in headlines, Leg Spinner, Devendra Bishoo has earned a recall for the first Time after three years.The squad even includes two uncapped players (Shai Hope and Carlos Braithwaite) who are expected ti shine this series.
On the other side,Cook and his camp are looking pretty settled ahead of a Challenging Summer.The have a balanced squad coming into the series with Jonathan Trott, Gary Ballance, Jos Buttler, Ben Strokes and Joe Root, all willing to prove their worth for the English Side.Things get interesting as we look at the bowling as if the side is looking for spinner they suddenly feel sort of unreliable, With Moeen Ali injured-The English Side have to decide whether to risk Adil Rashid or go with already-tested Spinner James Tredwell.
The Batsmen Expected to Make his mark for The Three Lions is Jonathan Trott.Trott will be receiving his 50th Test Cap for England.He seemed to lost his concentration last Ashes,leaving it after he faed uncomfortable with pace of Mitchell Johnson at Brisbane, the 33-Year old South African born looks to open the batting along side WC'15 dropped Captain Alastair Cook.Trott said in an interview with BBC :
"I've been tested on and off the field and had to go through the ringer to get here.So, yes, I feel really confident I can cope and do really well . It's been a little bit frustrating being struck on 49 [Test Caps] all that time,but I'm really proud of what I've achived so to get a 50th Cap would be great."
On Sunday(one day befor the Forst test), England Pace-Man James Anderson who is playing his 100th Test Match explained that bitter memories of Being sidelined in Early Stages of his England Career have motivated him to keep improving. James just need Four Wickets to overtake Sir Ian Botham and become Leading Wicket Taker in England's Test Cricket History.He said to Dailymail :
"I've never forgotten sitting on the sidelines for 18 months or two years and not being able to be out there doing what I love.Obviously, I was playing county cricket, which was great, but the ultimate goal is playing for England and I want to do that for as long as possible.I got off to a good start to my career but then had a few years out of the England side with dodgy form and injuries. I didn't know if I'd ever play again,"
KEY CLASH :
Marlon Samuels vs Joe Root
Samules has been one of the most dependent player in the West Indies squad since last six-seven months.He is one of the only senior player in the WI Test Squad this series.So, he have to play am anchoring role-guiding the youngsters and keeping his cool at the Ground.On the Other side, Joe Root has been one of the golden youngsters in English Cricket as he now has to get himself turn into a man at Professional Cricket. Root has to guide the shots throughly and don't cheaply lose his Mind.Joe definitely have to prepare this series as a tough Summer for The Three Lions Awaits.
