Sammy sees 'some light coming through' for West Indies in Tests
When I took on this job, when I look at the first three Test series we had: Australia here in difficult conditions, West Indies in India, West Indies in New Zealand. That was three really challenging ones," Sammy said ahead of the first Test against Pakistan, starting on Saturday at Tarouba's Brian Lara Stadium, the venue hosting a Test for the first time. "And also the players would have had to get the opportunities to finetune the team and have them gel well together."We could see some light coming through, especially with the Sri Lanka series [which West Indies won 1-0 in early July].
