MULTAN – West Indies arrived in Pakistan yesterday for a series of three One-Day Internationals against the hosts, with captain Nicholas Pooran upbeat about the form of the Caribbean side’s batting group.

The Windies swept minnows Netherlands 3-0 last week in Amsterdam with Shai Hope, Shamarh Brooks, and Kyle Mayers all hitting centuries.

“It’s always important – not only one batsman, but multiple batsmen scoring centuries,” Pooran said.

“It is very important for a team in terms of getting to a big score, a score to actually defend.

“It’s wonderful. It shows that the batsmen are hungry for runs and they’re willing to spend time at the wicket and get those big runs.” (CMC)
