West Indies team captain Rovman Powell has agreed that playing the World Cup at home is no less than any pressure. Not only this, he also said that the West Indies team is fully prepared for the upcoming matches and it will not be so easy for any team to defeat them at home.

Let us tell you, the performance of the West Indies team in this important tournament has been very good so far and they have confirmed their place in the Super 8. West Indies has played three matches in this important tournament so far and has won all three. Now they have to play their last group stage match against Afghanistan in St. Lucia. After this, the team will have to play its first match in the Super 8 on June 19 against England at the same venue.

Rovman Powell said, ‘I think there is always pressure when you are playing the World Cup at home. But the question always remains how much pressure can you bear as a player personally. When I took over the captaincy 12 to 14 months ago, our ranking was 8th or 9th. It feels really good to see yourself at number three. Behind this is the hard work of all the players who together have performed well for their team.

I have never played in the number three ranked West Indies team. I hope that this time something special happens for us and we keep increasing our ranking like this. There are many aggressive players in our team who can leave their mark in this tournament. In the upcoming match, we will perform in the same way as we have done so far.

West Indies captain put forth his opinion on the St. Lucia pitch

Rovman Powell further said, ‘St Lucia is a place where batsmen like to bat. But bowlers have also bowled very good spells on this ground. Especially the fast bowlers. However, if it is said who gets more profit, then I would say that there is 60% more help for the batsmen here while 40% is for the bowlers.’

The best thing for West Indies is that all their bowlers are in very good form at the moment and they will definitely want to leave their mark in the upcoming match against Afghanistan. All the teams will also know very well that it is not so easy to defeat West Indies in their own home.
