India vs West Indies
India will aim to maintain their number one spot in Test cricket when they host West Indies for four Tests beginning Tuesday. It marks Shubman Gill’s inaugural series as captain after Virat Kohli decided to step aside due to an unsuccessful international cricket career and unexpected results.
West Indies have also struggled, losing three Test matches against England and South Africa recently. But, they hope a return to form will enable them to qualify for the World Cup tournament.
History of West Indies National Cricket Team begins in the late 19th Century when representative teams were chosen to face touring English teams. Later in 1926, when joining the Imperial Cricket Conference (ICC), West Indies Cricket Board was granted Test status granting Test status in 1928.
In 1976, under Clive Lloyd, West Indies cricket became unofficial world champions of Test cricket for an extended period.
Their fast bowling attack and support from some of the greatest batsmen ever produced record breaking performances such as Michael Holding’s 14/149 at Oval Stadium London which still stands today.
West Indies currently rank eighth in Test rankings and have only won two out of their last 20 Test matches, due to batting issues that have left them struggling at bat.
Yet with some exciting young talent available to them it will be fascinating to witness their performance against India as number one team.
