Rovman Powell hails his team after win over England - World News Network

Gros Islet [St. Lucia], November 17 (ANI): Following the win against England in the 4th T20I of the five-match series, West Indies skipper Rovman Powell heaped praise on his team following their brilliant all-round performance.
Valuable half-centuries from Evin Lewis and Shai Hope guided West Indies to victory over England by five wickets in the 4th T20I of the five-match series at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
“The guys were more committed today. All the guys played well today. We are trying to tinker with the selection to get the right combination. We were forced to use only five bowlers today. He is very important for us. He (Alzarri Joseph) is the spearhead of our team, the other bowlers need to reach his standards. We have been looking around the Caribbean for bowlers, it’s an opportunity for the bowlers to keep bowling well (and play for the West Indies.) There is still a lot to play for. We want to play well for the people of St Lucia who come out and support us,” Powell said in the post-match presentation.
