"I'm sure they are not going to be any pushover."

"Myself and the coach and the manager have been speaking to the players after the end of the England series so that we don't underrate anybody," Sarwan said. The West Indies split the recent series against England 2-2 and was strongest in back-to-back victories in St. Lucia.
