Coley: WI not worried about pitches

MULTAN, Pakistan:

West Indies Test head coach Andre Coley believes that the regional side is fully prepared for whatever conditions they face in their upcoming Test series against Pakistan.

The West Indies will take on the home side in a two-match Test series beginning on Friday as they look to wrap up this cycle of the World Test Championship.

The pitches in Pakistan's home series against England last October - which they won 2-1 - catered to spin and Pakistan named spinners Noman Ali, Sajid Khan and Abrar Ahmed in their 15-member squad last week.

However, speaking to reporters during a press conference yesterday, Coley said the team's balance meant they were suited for any conditions they encountered.

"I don't want to comment too much on the pitch. The series between England and Pakistan obviously is history and there is quite a bit to be taken from it.

"We have a clear plan in our mind as you look at the makeup of our squad, so the squad gives us the option to go either way, so we have that flexibility in the squad," Coley said.
