3 Caribbean players to watch out for in England vs West Indies 3rd Test

As England and the West Indies prepare to face off in the third and final Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham from July 26, all eyes will be on several key players who have shown promise and performance in the ongoing series. 

Although England has already clinched the series with dominant wins in the first two Tests, the West Indies are eager to make a strong comeback in the final match. Here are three Caribbean players who could make a significant impact:

3. Alzarri Joseph (6 wickets in 3 innings)

Alzarri Joseph has been a vital component of the West Indies bowling lineup. With six wickets in three innings, including a notable five-wicket haul in the second Test, Joseph has shown his capability to make significant inroads into the English batting order. 

His pace and aggression have troubled the English batsmen, and he will be looking to replicate his success in the final Test. Joseph’s contributions with the ball will be essential if the West Indies hope to restrict England’s powerful batting lineup and create opportunities for victory.

2. Kavem Hodge  (148 runs in 4 innings)

Kavem Hodge has emerged as the highest run-scorer for the West Indies in this series. With 148 runs in four innings, including a resilient century in the second Test, Hodge has demonstrated his batting prowess and ability to anchor the innings. 

His performance at Trent Bridge was a marked improvement from the first Test, where the West Indies struggled to put up competitive scores. Hodge’s ability to build partnerships and hold the innings together will be crucial for the West Indies if they aim to post a formidable total against a strong English bowling attack.

1. Jayden Seales (10 wickets in 3 innings)

Jayden Seales has been the standout performer for the West Indies in this series. The young pacer has taken 10 wickets in just three innings, including two impressive four-wicket hauls. His ability to swing the ball both ways and deliver crucial breakthroughs has been instrumental for the team. 

Seales’ bowling was particularly effective in the second Test at Trent Bridge, where he troubled the English batters consistently. As the highest wicket-taker for the West Indies in the series, Seales will be a key player to watch in the final Test, with the potential to turn the game in his team’s favour.
