Ireland team makes their first tour to West Indies to play a bilateral ODI & T20I series matches.

West Indies have been impressive recently after Kieron Pollard took over the captaincy stint. West Indies took a lot of positives from the recent ODI series against India despite losing it by 2-1 margin. They will look to continue their good work and build a strong team towards the future.

Ireland comes into this series after defeating Zimbabwe by 3-0 margin but they would love to put up some impressive performances against top nations. Ireland will consider this as a great opportunity to win some matches against an established team like West Indies in the international arena.

West Indies Preview

West Indies ODI team is looking good with a good mix of youth and experience. Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran were in sublime form against a strong Indian bowling line up and made runs for fun. Skipper Kieron Pollard, Evin Lewis, and Shimron Hetmyer too contributed with the bat and helped West Indies score 280+ runs in all three matches.

West Indies' bowling unit was not able to maintain pressure in the last series. Sheldon Cotrell and Alzarri Joseph are expected to take the new ball and will form a destructive pair with their deadly pace and swing on Caribbean pitches. All-rounders Keemo Paul and Roston Chase along with Spinners Kharre Pierre & Hayden Walsh will form the rest of the bowling attack of the team.

KEY PLAYERS
