The West Indies are expected to win the series in Zimbabwe, which began last Saturday, with the host preparing for their first Test in 18 months.While West Indies hopes to win again with the help of Brian Lara, who was hired as the team’s performance mentor, starting with a victory in Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe has achieved its first goal of resuming Test cricket after a long absence.Obtaining matches and series is a constant challenge for the southern Africans.Zimbabwe has experienced a recent revival, however, following the return of former captain Dave Houghton to the role of head coach.Houghton’s presence has resulted in a more optimistic outlook for Zimbabwe, which won a T20 series and drew a One-Day series against Ireland last month and has managed to entice former England batter Gary Ballance back to his homeland.Ballance made his Zimbabwe international debut against Ireland and is set to make his Test debut against the West Indies after switching allegiance from England to Zimbabwe, where he was a youth international before moving to Britain.
