Cricket West Indies has opened a high-performance preparation camp in Antigua (November 4-18) as the red ball group gears up for the three Test series in New Zealand, December 2-22. Taking place at Coolidge Cricket Ground, the sessions combine technical work, match simulations, sports science load monitoring and strength and conditioning, all under CWI’s high-quality protocols.
The camp is led by Ramesh Subasinghe (WI Academy Head Coach) with Rohan Nurse (Assistant), supported by Senior Talent Manager Jamal Smith and trajectory coach Shane Dowrich. CWI Director of Cricket Miles Bascombe says the emphasis is on tightening the batting against NZ-style movements and setting bowling lengths while managing the workload – purposeful preparation to “compete with confidence and intent”.
The players in the camp are Tagenarine Chanderpaul, John Campbell (fresh from a first Test ton vs India), Tevin Imlach, Anderson Phillip, Johann Layne, Kevlon Anderson, Kavem Hodge, Kemar Roach and Ojay Shields. More seniors and developing names can be filtered as the tour party is finalized.
Winning in New Zealand requires discipline: start well, play late, hit lengths. Collecting two focused weeks now looks like smart skill preparation for a squad mix experience (Roach) with emerging quicks and openers still building test miles.
