West Indies fast bowler Jayden Seales emerged as a standout performer, earning the player of the series award, in the just ended three match test series against England, despite the Claribbean side suffering an embarrassing 10 wicket loss yesterday in the third and deciding test at Egbaston.
The result completed a three nill series whitewash by England, who wrapped up the contest in three days.
Meanwhile, Seales, who recently returned to international cricket after a long injury layoff, took 13 wickets in the three-match test series at an average of 27.23.
While happy for the accolade seales accepts that there is still work to be done.
“Proud of being able to represent West Indies, coming back and doing well for the team is rewarding, just looking to improve going forward. [Sussex] Was great to come across and understand the conditions, how they can help me. [England attacking approach] Was tough at times, they take opportunities to score if you give them a chance. Had to be on it all the time. [WI attack coming together] I think once we grow and learn, we can be a force to be reckoned with. Body is not too bad, trying to get some recovery in and looking forward to the [South Africa] series at home.” says West Indies Player of the Series Jayden Seales
The Caribbean men will now turn their focus to a two match test series against South Africa starting on August 7 in Trinidad, while England’s next assignment in test cricket is a three-match series against Sri Lanka starting on August 21 at Old Trafford.
