Sammy to Fine-Tune Roles for Upcoming World Cup Competition
West Indies head coach Daren Sammy is preparing for an upcoming T20 series against Afghanistan in Dubai. The three-match series begins on Monday. The squad has already arrived, with Johnson Charles expected to join the team shortly.
Focus on Player Roles Ahead of World Cup
In a recent interview, Sammy emphasized the importance of fine-tuning player roles for the T20 World Cup next month. He noted that while winning remains a primary goal, understanding individual roles is crucial for success.
“The key for us is role execution,” Sammy stated. He highlighted that some players have embraced their roles over the past two years, but others still need to refine their contributions.
New Opportunities for Emerging Players
The absence of several key players from the 16-member squad provides a unique chance for emerging talent. Sammy believes this series will allow young players to showcase their abilities and potentially earn a spot in the World Cup squad.
- Series Location: Dubai
- Start Date: Monday
- Key Opponent: Afghanistan
- Focus: Role execution and player preparation for the World Cup
Despite the challenges posed by missing players, the coach is optimistic. He is eager to build momentum against a strong Afghanistan team, particularly in conditions similar to those expected in India during the World Cup.
Sammy expressed hope that this series will serve as effective preparation for the squad members. “I’m looking forward to starting the year strong and gathering some momentum,” he concluded.
