West Indies have endured a difficult period in ODI cricket and will face a strong Indian side in familiar home conditions. For Darenn Sammy, however, the series offers more than just an opportunity to challenge India. It will also give his players a chance to assess their progress before the ODI World Cup qualifiers.
Marlon Samuels played a key role in that final match with a century as West Indies completed a series win that remains their most recent bilateral ODI success in India.
In India, West Indies have played 61 ODIs, winning 28 and losing 32, with one match ending in a tie. The visitors will now look to improve that record and achieve a result they have not managed since 2002-03.
“It’s been 24 years, we’ve not won a series here in India” - Daren Sammy
“It’s been 24 years, we’ve not won a series here in India. So it’s a great opportunity for us as a team to come out here and challenge ourselves and measure up ourselves as to where we are in ODIs.”
“If you have to win a major ICC event, especially in the white-ball format, you have to beat India. And we playing them here at home and their conditions and performing well and winning gives us a fair idea as to what we could do as a team and how capable we are in competing on the world stage.”
“The reality of the situation [is] we’ve not made [automatic qualification]. However, if we have to look back as to where we were and what we’ve been able to achieve as an ODI team, we’ve made some strides.”
“Shai Hope is not the only one scoring hundreds” - Daren Sammy
“Shai Hope is not the only one scoring hundreds. We’ve gotten hundreds from different players... Amir Jangoo, the way he’s played, we’ve seen a glimpse of Sherfane [Rutherford].”
Daren Sammy was equally encouraged by the progress of young wristspinner Vitel, who has already made an impression after being introduced to international cricket. He stated:
