5 West Indies players who deserve a chance despite the team's struggles

Kemar Roach

Extremely talented, a bowler who packs a punch and one, who on a given day can run through oppositions – these are the adjectives best used to describe Roach, Windies' most experienced and talented bowler as of now.

After a spate of injuries and lack of form, he returned to the national team, injecting a much needed lethal touch to the bowling attack. Roach is a very experienced bowler who made his debut in 2009 and has shown good progress right from the time he started off.

He is not that tall but his quick arm action allows him to generate good speed which gives him an edge against most oppositions. He hits the right line and length on most occasions which makes him a wicket taking option for Holder to go to.

And moreover with the likes of Shannon Gabriel, Miguel Cummins, Alzari Joseph and even Jason Holder coming up through the ranks in test cricket, Roach becomes the leader of the bowling attack.

The young bowlers would have a lot to learn from the fast, quick, aggressive bowler who would be remembered most for the vicious spell he delivered against Australia at Perth in 2013 where he made Ricky Ponting bleed because of his ferocious, quick spell of fast bowling.

Jason Holder could use some experience in a rather inexperienced side. Roach can at times leak runs because of his wayward bowling, but for the young crop of players coming through the Windies set up, it would in be handy for them to have someone with good experience to guide them and help them shine.
