Following the remarkable victory of the Kraigg Brathwaite-captained Test team over Australia, West Indies’ One-Day International (ODI) captain, Shai Hope, is filled with optimism.
Hope believes that his ODI unit can not only maintain the momentum but also replicate the Test team’s historic feat in their upcoming three-match series against Australia.
The Test series generated significant buzz, especially with the inclusion of seven uncapped players, including the emerging fast bowler Shamar Joseph. Joseph’s exceptional performance, despite a toe injury, led West Indies to a sensational eight-run win, marking their first Test victory in Australia in 27 years.
Five players from the Test squad
The excitement surrounding this historic win still lingers in the air, and Hope’s ODI squad, which features five players from the Test squad, aims to continue the celebrations as they kick off their three-match series on Thursday at 10:30 pm.
In a pre-game press conference, Hope expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “It was a very inspiring win that they had in the last Test.
