FORMER West Indies fast bowler, Reon King agrees that the upcoming Test series between West Indies and India will definitely be a tough challenge for the Caribbean side.West Indies are currently languishing at number 8 in the Test rankings, just above Bangladesh, and King, who took 53 wickets in his 19 Tests, pointed out that India have a formidable batting line-up and the contest will be equally tough against the Indian spinners.
“Definitely West Indies young brigade need to step up. They were given an opportunity to play in their own backyard, and to play against a quality team, so they must answer their call,” King revealed.The 40-year-old King added “West Indies are still in transition phase, but playing at home certainly will give them some boost. While the series will be challenging, I think ‘patience’ will be the key word, but having said that, India, on the other hand, are also going through a transition phase. They too have a young team,” King pointed out.
