West Indies coach, Floyd Reifer on Thursday showed confidence in his youth-experience mingled team ahead of the first match of T20I series against India. He complimented the experienced campaigners like Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine, saying they can guide Windies through.
"The team is young, and we like to mix the experienced players with the youth. We have a very good blend. We are looking forward to the matches here in Florida. It should be a very exciting weekend, with lots of entertainment for the fans," Reifer told the Cricket West Indies official website.
"We have players like (Kieron) Pollard and (Sunil) Narine making a return to the team as well as the captain Carlos Brathwaite and they have a lot of experience at this level and in this format."
Riefer also praised youngsters who have been included in the squad.
"We have young Khary Pierre, a very good spinner, he played in India last year and he bowled quite well. He is also a good fielder," Reifer said.
"Bramble has been around first-class cricket for a while, and he has played some very good innings for Guyana. He toured with the West Indies B team to Canada and did a great job as captain. You can see how eager he is to get out there on the park and perform at this level."
The T20I series starting from Saturday at Florida will be the first assignment for both the teams after recently concluded World Cup 2019. The teams will play 3 T20I and ODIs each and a couple of Test matches.
