Game plan to succeed in the Caribbean conditions
England, the reigning champions, must be aiming to repeat their victorious performance in the previous T20 World Cup. However, Swann pointed out that England will face a different challenge this time, as the conditions in🦂 the West Indies will be unlike the bouncy pitches of Australia.
“I hope so. Yeah, the last time they won, they played pretty good cricket in Australia. It is a different country to go to, the USA and the West Indies. Different forms of cricket. The pitches are nowhere near as hard and bouncy. So I hope they do well. Defending champions is sometimes a hard tag to carry. Looking at the team, I think they are very strong,” Swann added.
