WI vs BAN: Hosts on brink of victory in first Test against Bangladesh

Veteran West Indies seamer Kemar Roach has pulled out of the upcoming England Tests after suffering a knee injury while playing for Surrey in the County Championship. The right-arm seamer, who will turn 36 on Sunday (June 30), was set to lead the pace attack against England in the first Test beginning July 10 at Lord’s in London. Uncapped seamer Jeremiah Louis has replaced Roach in the Test squad.&nbsp;

"Kemar's skill and experience in English conditions will be missed," Desmond Haynes, West Indies' lead selector, said. "However, this opportunity has been long in the making for Jeremiah Louis. He certainly has the skill and experience to make an impact in England."

Meanwhile, Roach picked 18 wickets at 25.77 in six County games this season for the defending champions. Known for bowling rockets with the new ball and once it starts reversing, his best came against Warwickshire at the Kia Oval in May, wherein he returned with figures of six for 46.

ENG vs WI 2024: Blow to West Indies as Kemar Roach to miss England Tests with knee injury

West Indies pacer Kemar Roach has called on his fellow pacers to ruin outgoing England pacer James Anderson's final Test at Lord's in July. Anderson has announced that the first Test of English summer against West Indies will be his last and Roach doesn't want to make it memorable for him.

"First Test match against us… hopefully, we ruin it," Roach said, laughing. "He's highly respected. He's always given me great advice as well. He will go down as one of the greatest to ever do it. I wish him all the best after that Test match, and hopefully he enjoys whatever comes next."

Roach's confidence stems from a bowling line up which includes Shamar Joseph, Jayden Seales, Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph apart from himself.&nbsp;

"It's a very highly talented and skillful group," Roach said at the Kia Oval on Monday after taking 6/46 for Surrey in English county cricket.&nbsp;

"We've not had the best of times over here in England, so it's more about focusing on us - not what they're going to do for him. He's going to get what he deserves. But it's all about us working hard to get what we deserve, which is a series win over here in England," he added.

Roach also said that the current West Indies pace attack is one of the best he has played in so far.&nbsp;

"With Shamar and Jayden Seales now - Alzarri as well - they have added a lot of X-factor to the bowling unit. On any given day, they can have a great spell and be devastating. That is what you want. You just want it as consistently as possible, to have those great days."

Anderson, on the other hand, will also be looking to bid goodbye to his 21-year long international career with a win.

Bangladesh attain unwanted record on opening day of 1st Test vs hosts West Indies

Kemar Roach was called up to the West Indies one-day squad for the first time in nearly two-and-half years on Wednesday with the fast bowler returning for next month`s three-match series against India, Cricket West Indies said. 
The 33-year-old from Barbados has been a regular in West Indies test squads but played the last of his 92 one-dayers against India at Port of Spain in August 2019.

"Kemar Roach is one of our leading fast bowlers and&nbsp;we believe we need bowlers upfront to get early wicket," newly-appointed chief selector Desmond Haynes said in a statement. "...Kemar, with an economy rate of five,&nbsp;is certainly&nbsp;good enough to play."West Indies also recalled opener Brandon King and middle-order batsman Nkrumah Bonner in their 15-member squad led by all-rounder Kieron Pollard.

"We want to have competition for places. We want to reach a stage where we have a lot of players fighting for positions," former test stalwart Haynes said. "We want to broaden the pool of players we have to choose from.

Kemar Roach was called up to the West Indies one-day squad for the first time in nearly two-and-half years on Wednesday with the fast bowler returning for next month`s three-match series against India, Cricket West Indies said. The 33-year-old from Barbados has been a regular in West Indies test squads but played the last of his 92 one-dayers against India at Port of Spain in August 2019. "Kemar Roach is one of our leading fast bowlers and we believe we need bowlers upfront to get early wicket," newly-appointed chief selector Desmond Haynes said in a statement. "...Kemar, with an economy rate of five, is certainly good enough to play."West Indies also recalled opener Brandon King and middle-order batsman Nkrumah Bonner in their 15-member squad led by all-rounder Kieron Pollard.

Kemar Roach recalled as West Indies announce a strong 15-man squad for India ODIs

England and West Indies kick started the third and final Test of the series at the Old Trafford in Manchester on Friday. To everyone’s surprise Jason Holder elected to bowl first after winning the toss as he said the visitors would look to utilize the moisture and get some early wickets under their belt.&nbsp;

Windies pacer Kemar Roach didn’t disappoint his captain as the veteran dismissed English opener Dom Sibley for a duck with a peach of a delivery in the very first over of the match. Roach fired an in-dipper to Sibley as the centurion from the second Test missed the flick only to be caught plumb in front of the stumps.

Roach was absolutely pumped as the Windies speedster nailed the plan to bowl Sibley full and straight after watching his marathon knock in Manchester in the second Test.&nbsp;

Holder opted to field first as the Windies made one change in the playing XI with Rahkeem Cornwall coming in for Alzarri Joseph.&nbsp;

“With the overhead conditions, there's a little bit moisture in the surface, we are going to try and make most of it. The guys have prepared very well with a couple of days off. We have made one change. Rahkeem Cornwall comes in for Alzarri Joseph. It's basically horses for courses - Rahkeem is a match-winner. He (Gabriel) is fine, he has bowled really well for us. There is something to play for and I'm sure both teams are hoping to keep it (Wisden Trophy),” said Holder after the coin flip.&nbsp;

Whereas, England captain Joe Root said that it was must-win game for the hosts.

“I feel like we've got a well-balanced team. Woakes as an all-rounder replaces Ben. Jofra is ready to play. He's got full support of the team. Stokes is in great form with the bat. He's capable of scoring another big one. It's a great time for him to be playing and for us to be playing alongside him. It's a must-win game for us,” Root said.

Watch: Kemar Roach dismisses Dom Sibley for duck with peach of a delivery

West Indies pacer Kemar Roach has warned Barbadian-born speedster Jofra Archer that there will be no love lost between the two when Windies and England take to the field for the three-match Test series starting July 8.

Archer represented the West Indies at the Under-19 level in three matches before opting to play senior cricket for England, where his father was born. Archer will take on the Windies for the first time when the two teams meet at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton in the first Test. However, Roach said that Archer has been doing a fantastic job for his career.

“Jofra’s made a decision and I think he’s doing a fantastic job for his career. Obviously there’ll be no friendships at the start of this series,” Roach told reporters via Zoom.

Archer was one of the picks of the bowlers in the ICC World Cup 2019 where he helped England lift their maiden 50-over World Cup by claiming 20 wickets. He followed his stupendous performance in the 2019 Ashes series.&nbsp;

<h2>It’s all about winning and playing our cricket: Roach</h2>

“It’s all about winning and playing our cricket. If we come up against Jofra, we’ll devise a fantastic plan to counter it. I’m looking forward to that battle,” Roach said.

“I saw him as a youngster in domestic cricket back home in Barbados. I always thought he was talented and obviously it has shown over the years.

England vs West Indies: No friendship with Jofra Archer during Tests, says Kemar Roach

West Indies have a bright future despite the team's elimination from the Cricket World Cup on Thursday, fast bowler Kemar Roach said after India snuffed out their slim chances of making the semi-finals.

The <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/live-updates-cricket-world-cup-2019-match-34-west-indies-vs-india-230819">comprehensive 125-run defeat at Old Trafford</a> was West Indies' fifth loss in seven matches as the winners of the first two World Cups joined Afghanistan and South Africa on the sidelines.

Roach said players like batsman Shimron Hetmyer and quick bowler Oshane Thomas gave him hope.

"Yeah, I think we have a bright future," Roach, who claimed 3-36 to help restrict India to 268-7, told reporters.

"We have some quality players around. Hetmyer and Oshane, the younger guys, once they get some good guidance, they'll do well for West Indies.&nbsp;

"I've confidence in the guys. I'll always be a fan of West Indies cricket for sure. And there's no doubt about it.

"There are a couple of guys back home doing well as well. So hopefully we'll see these guys filter into the West Indies team in the probably near future."

West Indies began their campaign by beating 1992 champions Pakistan but did not taste another victory and narrowly went down to Australia and New Zealand.

"After the first win against Pakistan, the guys were confident going forward into the World Cup," said Roach, who became the first West Indian to take a World Cup hat-trick in 2011 against the Netherlands.

"I think a couple of close games against Australia and then New Zealand...I think it's tough because you want to get over the line, obviously, and get some confidence going forward but it didn't work out for us.

"But I think the guys, keeping our heads up. We're out now, but obviously there's a future for us.

"We're still learning, couple of young guys on the team got a great future for them. And it's all about being positive and looking forward."

West Indies play Sri Lanka and Afghanistan in their last two group matches.

Kemar Roach sees bright Windies future despite early World Cup exit

West Indies pacer Kemar Roach is expected to miss the opening Test against India, following the death of his grandmother.&nbsp;

West Indies coach Stuart Law confirmed the news on Tuesday.

There are also reports that he will rejoin the squad midway through the first Test beginning on Thursday.

"Kemar is not back yet. He had a bereavement in the family and will be joining the team midway through the first Test," said coach Stuart Law.

"Kemar Roach is a very experienced fast bowler with great skill. He is one of our leaders. It is a big loss. Having said that, Shannon Gabriel has been outstanding in the last couple of Tests, that too in similar conditions to India."

Roach has played 48 Tests, taking 163 wickets at 28.31.

The coach, however, expressed confidence in the abilities of the pace attack comprising Gabriel (37 Tests), captain Jason Holder (34), Keemo Paul (1) and the uncapped Sherman Lewis, who replaced the injured Alzzarri Joseph.
