The third match of the 3-match Test series between England and West Indies will be played on Friday, July 26. In such a situation, West Indies will fight with England for its honor.
West Indies had equalled the two-match Test series by defeating Pat Cummins and Co. on Australian soil earlier this year. After his brilliant performance, the entire West Indies management and team were hoping that he would do something similar against England.
However, they were comprehensively defeated by England in the first two Test matches. With this defeat, they also lost the Richards-Botham Trophy. Now the third match of the 3-match Test series will be played on Friday, July 26. In such a situation, West Indies will take on England for their honor.
To support his team, legendary commentator and former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop has an important message for Craig Brathwaite and Co. He urged the West Indies to play with passion in the third game and learn as much as possible ahead of next month’s home series against South Africa.

Ian Bishop gave a special message to the team before the ENG vs WI third Test match
“If the players can hear me now, they have to pull themselves together. I know it’s tough and I know they probably lost a lot of their mental energy after their performance with the bat in the first innings scoring a lot and they lost the second innings, but Edgbaston is important for learning.”
Ahead of the series against South Africa, Bishop urged the team to stay motivated, build confidence and learn from their experiences. He said-
“The Richard Boultham Trophy goes to England, but then there is the South Africa series as well. So you know one by one that you represent the people of the West Indies. Every game you play with pride. And that should be enough to give you energy and if that is not enough, you are going to play against South Africa in less than a week or about a week later. And you want to go there with confidence. So there is still a lot to learn playing for a team that is still learning.”
