West Indies spinner Hosein confident team will push India in the T20 series
West Indies spinner Akeal Hosein expressed confidence in his team's ability to challenge India in the upcoming five-match T20 series. Hosein, who is set to play his 100th T20I, emphasized the importance of planning and execution.
Why it matters
The series is a significant event in international cricket, featuring the reigning T20 World champions.
West Indies spinner Akeal Hosein expressed confidence that his side would push India, the reigning T20 World champion, hard in the five-match series starting on Tuesday (October 6, 2026).
“I back my boys. Even when we played in the World Cup, we gave them a hell of a run. They know the fear that we bring to T20 cricket. They know the brand that we play. We know they are a dangerous team, but we’re not going to back down as well,” said Hosein.
“I would think both teams are looking forward to the challenge. It’s about who plans best and who executes best. We are going to focus on the things that we can control. I think once we do that, we’ll be successful.”
The 33-year-old is set to play in his 100th T20I match on Tuesday, and the Trinidadian hoped he could continue for another five years.
