England's Test team captain Joe Root believes his team will get a chance to prove themselves in the upcoming three-match Test series against hosts West Indies, starting March 8. England, in particular, suffered a 0-4 loss in the Ashes earlier this year. The poor Ashes series campaign also led to several major changes in the England team, including the ouster of veteran pacers James Anderson and Stuart Broad.
The tour of the West Indies is not going to be easy for the England team. The team does not have key bowlers. Apart from this, the team has recently come after losing the Ashes series, and the last time the English team played a Test series on Caribbean soil, it was defeated by 1-2. However, Joe Root is aware of this, as he sees this series as an opportunity to showcase his team's true potential. He has also considered the West Indies series as a big challenge.
Joe Root while talking to Cricinfo said, "I think it is an opportunity for all of us to prove ourselves. We know that historically it is not easy to come from England and play here, in 50 years we just Win once, but it's a great opportunity for the team. To win here would be a big achievement, so that's something we've been looking forward to very much. It's a big challenge for us, but something that can be taken care of. We are very excited."
England captain Joe Root further said that his team will play positive cricket in the series as winning matches is their priority. It should be noted that England is currently at the bottom of the World Test Championship points table. Despite playing all the matches, England has 10 points in their account and the team's win percentage is 9.25. Therefore, the England team would need to win their overseas Test matches to earn enough points to qualify for the WTC Finals.
