World Cup must serve as learning curve — Hope

LEEDS, Eng­land – Stroke-mak­er Shai Hope says West In­dies must use the dis­ap­point­ment of the ICC World Cup as a learn­ing curve if they are to im­prove in com­ing years.

Speak­ing fol­low­ing the Caribbean side’s 23-run vic­to­ry over Afghanistan in their fi­nal match of the tour­na­ment on Thurs­day, Hope said he and the side’s younger play­ers stood to ben­e­fit from the ex­pe­ri­ence de­spite the failed cam­paign.

“It was def­i­nite­ly a learn­ing ex­pe­ri­ence, some­thing that I will nev­er for­get,” Hope told me­dia here.

“Play­ing each team in this for­mat, ob­vi­ous­ly you have to be the bet­ter team on the day to progress in the tour­na­ment. But hav­ing said that it’s a learn­ing ex­pe­ri­ence, I def­i­nite­ly gained some­thing from it. Hope­ful­ly, I and the younger guys can use this and take it for­ward in­to their ca­reer.”

He con­tin­ued: “If you don’t im­prove and learn from this ex­pe­ri­ence, then we’re not go­ing any­where, we’re not learn­ing any­thing. I’m sure we’re go­ing to use this as ba­si­cal­ly a plat­form for the next four years.

WI players should take up motorsport as a profession.They always turning de cornah or learning de curves.

Well they'll almost certainly have a WCQ to prepare for in the near future so that's a short term goal

Hope should have just shut up. How can you go to the biggest tournament in the world and say that it is a learning experience. You were supposed to learn before you reached there. wE just learnt how poor the team really is.

If you never played in a WC before it must be a learning experience regardless of how much you prepared no? confused

At least he is willing to learn & improve on his weakness....

How many past players ever said any thing like that?

 
Narper 2019-07-08 14:39:52 

When will he demonstrate he is learning...when he becomes a coach...like Reifer

It is interesting that after all the cricket these guys have been playing, they were not ready for the WC challenges, they had flat pitches to bat on and they were inconsistent, the bowlers had a difficult time as it is difficult to be a bowler in this era with all the new rules.

Hope entered the World Cup as one of the leading ODI batsman in the world, he made his name in England on a prior tour, we are always learning new things but we should be aware of the things we did before.
