“[…] Since making his debut on 10 June against South Africa, 20-year-old Jayden Seales has captured 16 wickets in just four Tests, while demonstrating the pace and accuracy that are the hallmarks of all great fast bowlers.  “[…] However, during 2021, the West Indies’ […] final win/loss ratio was a …
