Congrats to Hope and Powell
Dear Editor,
Hearty congratulations to West Indian cricket star players Shai Hope and Rovman Powell who will lead the West Indies side in the One-Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 (T20) white-ball cricket series, respectively, to be played in South Africa this year.
Both players have served as vice-captains under Nicholas Pooran and now take on the crucial responsibility independently. Hope has played well as a batsman when his side required a determined performance, and Powell has extensive captaincy experience.
After last year’s dismal performance of the West Indies team in the T20 World Cup, there is a need to boost the morale of the players to once again bring back the glory days to West Indies cricket.
