PAK vs WI, 1st Test Preview
Pakistan will be looking to avenge their series loss against South Africa and start afresh by taking control of West Indies on their home turf. They won the series against England 2-1 in their home and hence, will be favourites to bag the two-match affair against the West Indies too. Led by Shan Masood, Pakistan boasts an experienced squad with all-round strength in both the batting and bowling lineup and hence, can pose tough questions for the visitors.
West Indies on the other hand are coming after ending the Bangladesh series in a draw at their home. While Pakistan has several bowlers and batters to give the Windies a tough time on the crease, Brathwaite and Co. are also ready to answer Pakistan's questions with strong batters like Keacy Carty, Mikyle Louis, Amir Jangoo and Gudakesh Motie, Jayden Seales and Kemar Roach from the bowling unit.
