Antigua and Barbuda Falcons have won the toss and have opted to field

Imad Wasim:
We are going to bowl first. I think there will be moisture in the surface, so bowling first is a good option. Last yeat the wicket was flatter. Although we lost games, they were very close games. Need to take catches and bat well this season. It was the first game of the tournament. We need to rectify our mistakes.

Rovman Powell:
I think it looks a good wicket. We would have bowled first if we'd won the toss. The big West Indian players have to stand up and need to give the team a direction. The youngsters will follow. We have gone heavy with our local batting and have gone overseas for bowlers. Got good practice under my belt..

Pitch and conditions:
There has been a lot of rain here in the last 24 hours. The outfield is very lush. 66m and 60m square boundaries and it's 75m down the ground. There's a lot of grass on the surface. It might be a little two-paced. The average score batting first has been 176 at this venue.

Empty stadium for a home opener.

I swear that ground/stadium is cursed. They might as well renovate the old ARG and call it a day with this white elephant.
