The West Indies Team in the 50-over format has been struggling as they have lost four out of their last five series that they have played in this format and have to play in the qualifying tournament for the 2027 ICC Men's ODI World Cup after missing out on automatic top-eight qualification. The two-time champions are winless for nearly two decades against India.
He said, (as quoted by NDTV), “Playing India in their backyard is always a challenge. It's one that we definitely need to grasp and embrace. It's a great indicator for us to see where we are as a team,” Hope said in the pre-match press conference.
Shai Hope believes that his team is ready to challenge India
Hope feels that playing international cricket is always tough, as they have to adapt to different conditions and play against different opposition, and they can improve against the best side. He feels that everywhere they go, the stats are different and they have not beaten India for 20 years, which is irrelevant as he wants to focus on the present.
“We know it's going to be a tough battle, but we're looking forward to this one,” he said.
"I pride myself a lot on trying to be the best I can be": Shai Hope on brilliant record against India
Hope added, “I pride myself a lot on trying to be the best I can be. One of those things, you have to be able to adapt to different conditions, and play against different oppositions. It's not always going to work out. Every day is not going to be your day.”
“But I really try to focus on the fine details to give myself the best chance to score runs. Here in India, you're going to play differently as if you're going to in Australia, or even back in the Caribbean. It's just about being very critical with the way you go about your training and preparation.”
