In the final collection between the 2 sides, the Caribbean staff defeated England at residence within the first couple of Tests to clinch the collection earlier than slumping to defeat within the remaining match in 2019.
Strong bowling performances was the foremost issue behind West Indies’ win and the facet is now hoping to copy an identical sort of present towards England of their yard as properly.
Commenting on the upcoming collection, Roach admitted that it’s all the time robust to play in England, however added West Indies stand a fantastic probability to clinch victory if they do not change their mode of assault.
“Different conditions obviously to the Caribbean, the ball does a little bit more in England so we have to adjust our plans, obviously devise a great plan to go against the English batsmen but I don’t think our mode of attack is going to change much.You saw it in the Caribbean and it’s pretty fresh in our minds,” the International Cricket Council (ICC) quoted Roach as saying.
“It’s always going to be tough to play in England but I think once you get stuck into them we stand a great chance of beating them. Our plan was always to make it tough for the England batsmen. I think we did that fantastically well. Once you can execute that again here, I don’t see any reason why you can’t cause trouble and get over the English batsmen,” he added.
Shannon Gabriel was one of many key exploits for West Indies within the 2019 collection.He is at the moment travelling with the Caribben squad as a reseve participant for the England Tests.

Simmons stated that Gabriel is a senior participant within the squad and his inclusion will certainly profit the nationwide squad.
“His ability to hit the right length, he’s got good pace, higher 80s [mph] and his all-round stamina and his ability to bowl long spells – I think that gives him a lot of pluses in being a fast bowler and someone who can spend a long time in the West Indies cricket team. He has a lot of attributes that would make him one of the greats of West Indies cricket in the future,” Simmons stated.
“The future of West Indies fast bowling is obviously in good hands with him around,” Roach, however, said.
