DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Whitewashed in the preceding Twenty20 and One-Day series, West Indies face the Herculean task of rescuing a tour in crisis when they clash with Pakistan in the historic day/night first Test starting today.
The Caribbean side were a shadow of themselves in the three-match T20 series and where brushed aside 3-0 by Pakistan, and a similar series result followed in the ODI series where they were distinctly second best to the hosts in all departments.
They are coming off a 2-0 defeat in the four-Test series against India in the Caribbean but under-pressure captain Jason Holder told a media conference yesterday that the series was a chance to press the reset button.
“Obviously, it is a young team and we obviously went down to India in our last series but it is a fresh series here,” the all-rounder said. (CMC)
