“The surface is generally dry, but there’s moisture in the first hour. We had a ten-day camp in Antigua. Lara was there, and that was good for our young batters. We need to be positive and consistent against India,” said Kraigg Brathwaite.

India captain Rohit Sharma is looking forward to playing positive cricket. Youngsters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ishan Kishan are making their Test debuts.

“We started with Barbados and played a practice game before coming here. We have played good cricket in the last two WTC cycles and want to take it forward. I want the two debutants to enjoy their game. It’s our duty to make them feel secure,” said Rohit Sharma.
