(CMC) West Indies head coach John Dyson has lamented his side’s lack of preparation for the upcoming tour of Abu Dhabi and has expressed frustration at the lack of support from the region’s cricket board, for staging pre-series training camps.
‘We have not prepared well at all for the upcoming tour of Abu Dhabi. We wanted a camp to be held but that was not possible and hence we go to Abu Dhabi and have two days there before we take on Pakistan in the first limited overs match,’ said Dyson.
‘This is not the ideal preparation for such a tour and we are hoping that the players who were with the Stanford Superstars had a good work out at the camp and those other players who were not in that camp, we hope that they were doing their work and will be ready for such a tour.’
West Indies leave Saturday for a three-match One-Day International series against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi, which bowls off next Wednesday.
The tournament will be the first piece of action for the West Indies since
their series against Australia in the Caribbean ended in July.
Dyson said staging camps for the regional team had been a problem since his arrival in the Caribbean.
‘We have been requesting certain camps from the West Indies Cricket Board and for some reason we have not been getting these camps at all.’
