West Indies Spinners Seek to Defy Odds Against Mighty India

As the West Indies prepare to face India in a two-Test series starting on October 1st, 2025, left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican is expressing confidence in his team's ability to compete against the mighty hosts. This comes despite the Caribbean side's recent humiliation of being bowled out for just 27 runs in their last Test against Australia.

Warrican acknowledges the embarrassment of that performance, but emphasizes the need to learn from the experience and move forward. He stresses that seizing crucial moments will be key to the West Indies' chances of success against the in-form Indian team.

The West Indies have been putting in rigorous training sessions since arriving in Ahmedabad, with the batsmen working on their game plans against spin and the bowlers honing their lengths. Head coach Darren Sammy has also been instilling a message of freedom and enjoyment in the team, urging them to back their skills and have fun on the field.

While Warrican takes confidence from the success of other left-arm spinners in India, he cautions against living too much in the past. The focus, he says, must be on adapting to the present conditions and executing their plans effectively. With the determination to improve on their recent failures, the West Indies will be hoping to spring a surprise against the formidable Indian side.
