- Phil Simmons says West Indies ‘feel secure’ in Manchester
- Concerns over batting before first Test on 8 July
The coaches of West Indies and Pakistan were giving Zoom interviews on Saturday and there was one common thread. Now the talk is about how the Test matches will pan out rather than whether they will happen at all. This is progress.
Phil Simmons and his West Indies squad are already in Manchester, where he said “the facilities are second to none” and that his players feel secure. There are many challenges ahead and he thinks one of the biggest will be boredom since the squad must lead a hermit-like existence during their stay in England. The first Test starts at Southampton on 8 July with two more to follow at Old Trafford, beginning on 16 and 24 July.
