GROS ISLET – West Indies are leaving nothing to chance against Australia even though the visitors will be missing several of their leading stars for the five-match Twenty20 International series, which bowls off here today.
The home side are seeking redemption after suffering a 3-2 series loss to South Africa in Grenada last weekend, and come up against a touring party which will be without the likes of Pat Cummins, David Warner, Glen Maxwell, Jhye Richardson, Marcus Stonis and Steve Smith, all of whom were late withdrawals.
But captain Kieron Pollard on Thursday was quick to dismiss the notion of a weakened Aussie side, warning the visitors still boasted a strong squad with quality players.
“Once you leave your nation or your country to come and play, you come to represent and you come with a group of professionals, so I’m not going to say they’re vulnerable,” Pollard cautioned. (CMC)
