The visitors have only five players in the current squad who have previously played Test cricket in Bangladesh. Joshua Da Silva, John Campbell, Jomel Warrican and Kemar Roach are the other players who have toured Bangladesh for Tests in the last eight years. “We just tell them to play what they see,” ctain Roston Chase said.
“We don’t want them to come into the game with a preconceived notion of whether a pitch is going to turn, whether it’s going to turn, whatever it’s going to do.” We just want them to come to us with a clear and open mind and do whatever it takes to be successful at all times. We don’t want to prejudge too much what the wicket is going to do.
We just want to play every ball according to our performance. “I wouldn’t say we’re going to adopt a particular style. I just think that every player has their own style and their own strengths and weaknesses.
And I just think that the way we play is determined by the conditions, the score and the game situation. Chase said he took a close look at the pitch at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, the venue for the first Test. He expects the conditions to favor spin, although there has been talk in Bangladesh of playing on pitches in Dhaka and Sylhet, where Pakistan recently lost 2-0 on pitches that had pace and bounce but allowed spin later in the game. “I still think they’ll probably shave a little grass or prepare a little more,” Chase said.
“But when it comes to the wicket, both sides have to play on it. This is not a wicket where one team can do something and the next team can’t do it. They still have four innings of cricket to go. So whoever adts and adjusts best on the wicket will, in my opinion, emerge victorious.
“Of course you would think that on grass it might be more spin-friendly, but when you look at it it still seems a bit dry underneath. And it’s Bangladesh. It is mostly known for its effects, so we assume it will have some effect too. “West Indies are in Bangladesh without their in-form batter Shai Hope, who was rested after his heroics in India where he scored four centuries in ODIs and T20Is.
“We will miss him a lot with Shai Hope out but he plays a lot of cricket,” Chase said. “Of course he is the champion of both white-ball formats, he is in great form but he is not here so we can’t worry about that. We have to take care of it with the 15 players we have on the team and just try to go out and do our best in the hitting department. “Chase also claims that the West Indies batting is good.
“I think as a batting unit we were able to score big in the first innings, over 300 runs in the first innings,” he said. “And I think that puts a lot of pressure on the other team. “But I just think if we can do it consistently not just in the first innings but also in the second innings, if we can put up a decent total in the second innings with the bowling line-up that we have, I think we will challenge teams and win more games.” Chase was also hpy with the camaraderie of the Test squad.
“The guys play for each other, the camaraderie is good,” Chase said. “I think the Test team is more of a family team because obviously it lasts longer than five days and the Test team spends a little more time together than most other teams. I think this team is probably the best performing team we currently have across all three formats. »
