Windies staying focused ahead of World Cup, says Bravo

Windies staying focused ahead of World Cup, says Bravo

DELHI, India (CMC) – West Indies captain Dwayne Bravo is refusing to look too far ahead despite his side’s impressive win over India in the first One-Day International of the five-match series on Wednesday.

The Caribbean side shook off an on-going contracts dispute with their players union, WIPA, to slam the reigning World champions by 124 runs in a clinical performance at the Nehru Stadium in Kochi.

And even though the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand is only months away next year, Bravo backed away from any predictions, preferring instead to focus on winning the current series.

“World Cup is still a long way to go. Playing against one of the better teams in the world gives us an opportunity to see where we are as a team,” Bravo told reporters here Friday.

“At the moment, we are here in India and the focus is on this tour. We want to see how we play in the next four games and how we can do as an ODI team. We can’t think about what happens four months hence.

“Before that we have a tour of South Africa coming up, and that will be tough as well. So we need to just focus on the present.”
