After being knocked out of the race for ICC World Cup 2023, the West Indies team is going to face India at home. The two-match Test series between the two teams begins on July 12. Apart from the Test, the Indian team will also play three ODIs and five-match T20 series on this tour. Former veteran Brian Lara has joined the WI team to uplift them vs Men in Blue after the disappointment in the World Cup qualifiers.
Actually, Brian Lara is associated with the Caribbean team as a performance mentor. In recent times, the performance of the West Indies has been very shameful. This is the first time in 48 years that the two-time champions West Indies will not be part of the ODI World Cup.
In such a situation, it is expected that after Brian Lara joins the team, WI’s performance will definitely improve. Although it will be known only in the coming time, but at present, the West Indies team is going through its worst phase.
