The West Indies cricket team have not been a force to reckon with in the fifty over the format for quite some time now. In the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in England (also co-hosted Wales), they will be looking to fight for some of its lost glory. They have been hitting the highs when it comes to T20 cricket, but the patience and skills needed to thrive in ODI cricket seems to be missing. To play in the World Cup, they have had to come through a qualifying phase along with Afghanistan. On their day, the Caribbean nation can be destructive with their whole bunch of firebrand cricketers in the squad. All they need is to be more consistency as a bunch. In this article, we look at West Indies national cricket team’s schedule in the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup.
