Early wickets from the pace attack and substantial runs from the top five batsmen.
That’s head coach Graeme West’s simple solution for success by the West Indies’ Under-19 cricket team which left Barbados on Wednesday night for the ICC Youth World Cup in South Africa.
“Going to South Africa, the wickets are likely to be a bit bouncy and we got to develop a method to ensure we can get through the first ten overs and our top order can get through to 35, 40 overs and then we go from there,” West reasoned.
He stressed that the specialist batsmen, led by captain Kimani Melius must step up and get substantial scores. (EZS)
