West Indies captain Kieron Pollard has said that the side needs to focus on the batting at the moment as that is the weak link.
"We need to improve the way we play, because our batting has definitely been a problem for us," Pollard said. "The good thing is that we have some new faces in the group, guys looking to make a name for themselves in our international scene," he said.
The right-handed cricketer further talked about the captaincy and how West Indies cricket is more about getting better and grooming the young talents.
"Before the World Cup, there was no noise about the captaincy, but because of the campaign that transpired, it is necessary," he said. "In each and every tournament that you have, whether it's the World Cup or the Ashes, you expect casualties."
"If I'm not the right person to lead, then so it, but cricket in the West Indies is not about Kieron Pollard. It's about the holistic approach of getting better, and grooming the youngsters, to put them in positions where they can feel comfortable in international cricket," he said.
England and West Indies will be up against each other in the first T20I in Barbados on Sunday (January 23, 2022).
