West Indies’ assistant coach Carl Hooper has expressed his concern over the team’s current status, stating that they may have to take a step lower if they don’t qualify for the Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifiers. The two-time ODI World Cup winners are starting from a lower rank than Bangladesh and Afghanistan, who qualified for this year’s World Cup via automatic qualification. Hooper emphasizes that the team must focus on doing the right things to avoid going even lower in rank. West Indies had failed to make it to the Super 12 stage of the Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia last year. However, under the guidance of a new coach Daren Sammy and a new skipper Shai Hope, beside a 3-0 series win over UAE in Sharjah, the team is confident in qualifying for the main event happening in India in October-November. The team is set to play their first match against USA on Sunday.
