West Indies have a great chance of retaining the Wisden Trophy if they can “get stuck into” the England team, says pacer Kemar Roach, who exuded confidence of repeating the success they achieved in the Caribbean.
The West Indies team beat England at home last year to claim the Wisden Trophy. They are now in England to play a three-match Test rubber, starting July 8 at Southampton.
The series will mark the resumption of the international cricket after the coronavirus hiatus.
The pacer said the bowlers will have to “adjust their plans” in English conditions and the key will be to attack.
“There are different conditions here to the Caribbean, the ball does a little bit more in England, so I think we have to adjust our plans. But I don’t think our mode of attack is going to change much,” Roach told Press Association.
“You saw them in the Caribbean and it is pretty fresh in our minds. It’s always going to be tough to play England but once we get stuck into them, I think we stand a great chance of beating England.”
The 31-year-old, who has claimed 193 Test wickets so far, said they will look to trouble the England batsmen when the series begins behind closed doors, which will make a level playing field.
