Hope rues after WI miss out on ICC WC

Agency :
Two-time champions West Indies (WI) crashed out of the race to qualify for the ICC World Cup (WC) 2023 in India, after a seven-wicket defeat against Scotland in a Super Six qualifier match, in Harare.
Team captain Shai Hope admitted that the team needs to focus on a lot of things and they just can’t expect to do great with such poor preparation.
West Indies came into the Super Six stage of the qualifying event in Zimbabwe without any points from the group stage, having lost to Zimbabwe and Netherlands, the two teams to move up from the same group.

“It starts from the foundation, preparation needs to be better. That’s from back home,” Hope said in the post-match presentation after the match.
“So, yeah, it starts from there. We can’t just expect to wake up one morning and be a great team. There’s a lot of things that we need to focus on. And yeah, we need to control what we can control. Right now, we are here playing cricket, and we need to make sure we give our all to the West Indian fans.”
