LONDON (CMC) -- An upbeat England arrived in St Kitts on Thursday for their three-Test tour of the Caribbean, with captain Alastair Cook confident of making a huge impact against opponents struggling in the game's longer form.

England exited the recent ICC World Cup without reaching the second round and are now focused on regaining some lost pride in the series, which bowls off in Antigua on April 13.

"We've got to focus on the exciting thing, which is the next five weeks and the guys who are lucky enough to pull on that shirt, to represent our country and be committed to playing for England," Cook said prior to his departure from Gatwick Airport.

England, ranked number three in the Test rankings, will be expected to roll over West Indies, ranked number eight in the world.
