West Indies coach Phil Simmonds expects improved bowling performances from spinner Gudakesh Motie in the future after a fruitless debut with the ball against Bangladesh last week.
Overall, the spinner ended the opening Test with no wicket from 16 overs and conceded 43 runs. The debut stood a far way from his performances in the West Indies Championship this season where he claimed 17 wickets in five matches, earning the attention of the West Indies selectors.
The 27-year-old did, however, make some sort of contribution with the bat after making 23 unbeaten from 21 deliveries, in the first innings.

i'm not saying the guy is going to be a world beater or any good at international level but he has impressed me more than permaul or warrican at first sight by the fact he looks to spin the ball and bowls one side of the wicket now obviously that has to be translated into taking wickets
I still feel Cornwall should be in the mix. The man didn’t perform that badly whenever he got a chance
