Perreira sees encouraging signs of West Indies revival

West Indies are showing encouraging signs of progress, but the regional side still has considerable work to do before it can confidently claim to have turned the corner, veteran cricket commentator Joseph Reds Perreira has warned.

Fresh from their 1-0 Test series victory over Bangladesh, Perreira believes the team’s batting is becoming increasingly competitive, but says greater consistency is needed, particularly from the bowling attack, if the Windies are to challenge the world’s leading sides.

“Yes there has been steady progress but we must not think that we have turned the corner straight away. We have to be able to compete with people in the top six and in the top five. When we can do that both abroad and at home, it’s going to look a lot more convincing that we turned the corner,” he told Barbados TODAY.
