5 young Windies cricketers who should be persisted with

#4 Jermaine Blackwood

Blackwood never backs away from counter attacking the opposition

The Jamaican is an aggressive batsman who's currently featuring in the Test squad. The 25-year-old made his Test debut against New Zealand in 2014 and impressed with a maiden fifty in the same Test.

Blackwood is a strong lad who can clear the ropes at will. The middle order batsman is someone who loves counter attacking the opposition. No matter what the situation, the Jamaican loves playing his shots. He came into the reckoning with his maiden Test hundred against England. Blackwood even played crucial roles in some of West Indies' famous victories.

He has represented the Windies in 24 tests so far and has scored 1309 runs at an average of 33.56. Blackwood will mature and develop his game as the days progress. There's a high possibility that he might change into a match winner if given enough opportunities to play at the top level.
