Due to Hurricane Beryl, the Pair was delayed, and it is believed that Shamar will appear on day three while Motie landed in London on time one.
First-Class Counties Select XI 15 for 0 trail West Indies 339 ( Hodge 112, Athanaze 74, McKenzie 73, Louis 50, Ahmed 4-48, Turner 4-60 ) by 324 runs
After their journey from Guyana was canceled due to Hurricane Beryl, which has caused the Caribbean to be in anguish over the past few weeks, quickly bowling Shamar Joseph and left-arm spin Gudakesh Motie were delayed in England to join the West Indies Test club. Shamar and Motie, subsequently, were absent from the visitors ' line-up for the three-day warm-up game against the First Class Counties XI, which started in Beckenham from Wednesday.
It is understood that Motie landed in London after in the day, while Shamar may occur on Friday. This means they will be nice to go for the second Test, which starts at Lord's on July 10.
Shamar had a great start to the January edition of the World Cup, helping West Indies draw the series 1-1, and dominating the Australian Open. After Kemar Roach pulled out late due to injury, he is expected to play a significant role for West Indies in England as a member of a fast-bowling echipa under the leadership of Alzarri Joseph. Jayden Seales is likely to be the next quick bowling West Indies implement in the three-match line, keeping in mind the sturdy form he has displayed in the next pision of county cricket where he is among the leading wicket-takers with 24 wickets in six matches at an average of 24. 25 including two five-fors.
Kavem Hodge beams on day one of journey game
July may be summer in England but Wednesday in Beckenham was gloomy and chilly, forcing both locals and visitors to put on their sweaters and tuck their arms into their hands. The nippy weather, though, did n't have any impact on the West Indians: on the back of a spirited 112 from Kavem Hodge and half-centuries from Alick Athanaze, Kirk McKenzie and Mikyle Louis, they posted 339 in their first innings after electing to bat in front of 1200-odd fans, including a healthy Caribbean contingent.
Hodge, who is traveling for his first time in England, described how he enjoyed his first visit but had a bad cool.
" It's often a desire to sing that at Lord's," Hodge said after the week enjoy. There is something you watch a lot of cricket at Lord's as a child that makes you want to play cricket. It's something I am looking forward to: getting the opportunity to sit and watch the match, play there with the audience, the fame, the house of cricket, it's something that every bowler aspires to perform. "
Like Shamar, Hodge- who at 31 has played just two Assessments- was part of the wonderful win at the Gabba win in January, scoring 71 and 29. Hodge claimed that West Indies ' portrayal of Australia's characters may inspire great self-esteem in England as well.
" It [the Gabba win ] has played a big role in the sense of belief that we have as a team. Going into a Test match against Australia with [several ] debutants [on the tour], I do n't think much people give us a sniff, but it proved to everybody that the belief that we have as a team, we prepared well.
" I must commend Andrew Coley [head coach ] and his backroom staff, because they put in a lot of effort and effort that people did n't see, but it paid off on the field." So it's something that truly pushed us and we just continued to walk off that. "
