There is no doubt that West Indies is one of the best teams in the T20 format. This has resulted from their players' innate flair and elegance, which has allowed them to play the game's shortest format. The only two-time winners of the T20 world cup are West Indies, and they accomplished this feat twice, in 2012 and 2016, with Darren Sammy serving as captain.
The West Indies cricket team recently revealed their lineup, with only a few noticeable absences. The star all-rounder Andre Russell and the star spinner Sunil Narine were left out of the twice world champions' 15-person roster.
Captain – Nicholas Pooran
Wicket Keeper – Nicholas Pooran
All-Rounder - Yannic Cariah, Jason Holder, Kyle Mayers, Odean Smith, Raymon Reifer
Batters – Rovman Powell, Shimron Hetmyer, Brandon Kin, Evin Lewis
Bowlers - Sheldon Cottrell, Akeal Hossain, Alzarri Joseph, Obed McCoy
Strength – Biggest Hitters & Natural Aggression
The reputation of the WI cricket team is one of the significant factors that the other teams cannot take lightly. The lads from the Caribbean have consistently been among the T20 format's top heavyweights. They have some of the strongest ball hitters and bowlers who can completely change the course of the game. They have a young team this year that has the potential to surprise a few opponents despite missing some of its top-recognized individuals.
Weakness – Limited Spin Bowlers
The opening combination and the spin bowling division are the obvious weak points. Akeal Hossien is the only recognized name in the spin bowling division. Although Hossien is not the most lucrative name on the list, the West Indies have little choice but to go with him. Three players are engaged in conflict in the opening position, and Ewin Lewis, Brandon King, Johnson Charles, and Kyle Mayers will compete for the two positions.
Opportunities – New Stars on Horizon
Some of West Indies' stalwarts have left the team in barely six months. This has given the following generation, such as Shimron Hetmyer and Odeon Smith, an opportunity to demonstrate their strength. It's an opportunity for the younger generation to shine and introduce the Caribbean to the rest of the globe. In addition, Captain Nicolas Pooran has a chance to demonstrate his leadership abilities when his tenure as captain has not gone well.
Threat – 'Slambang' Approach
The twice-champion West Indies national cricket team is their greatest threat, much like Pakistan. Their consistency has been one of the major disappointments, and West Indies' skills haven't dazzled the world in recent years. The West Indies cricket team follows a straightforward technique, see the ball and hit it while ignoring all circumstances. They might pay for this "Devil May Care" during the competition.
It is a reality that their "SLAMBANG" strategy causes them to lose their own game. They need to think about handling things and be a little more thoughtful. The team has sufficient talent, which is the players' mindset. Get all the recent updates on the West Indies cricket team with CBTF.
