It has been a little more than two months since West Indies endured one of their all-time low moments in Test cricket, being bowled out for just 27 against Australia. The Caribbean team now has an even greater challenge ahead of it, a two-match Test series in India next month. West Indies have struggled in India for decades. They have lost all four Test series in India since 2000, and the last time they won a Test series on Indian soil was back in 1983. Despite this record, head coach Darren Sammy is confident his team will arrive with one clear goal: to win. Sammy’s Clear Message: “We’re Going to Win” Speaking before the tour, Sammy indicated that preparation will be the key. To ESPNcricinfo, Sammy said: "From my end, the ten days leading up to the [first] Test match [in India], we'll be drilling in all these things and planning very well as to how we're going to beat India in India." Sammy added: "We're definitely going down there with the mindset to win. We're not just going to go down there and think, 'oh, it's India.' No. New Zealand went there and did incredibly well and that we should take inspiration from. But again, it's understanding the things that New Zealand did in those conditions and try to emulate it with our guys as well." Also Read | Will Pat Cummins play the 2025 Ashes? Aussie Test cap shares update Backing Pace Over Spin The majority of touring sides depend on spinners while touring India, but West Indies have gone against the tide. The team has a lone senior specialist spinner, Jomel Warrican, while emphasis has been laid on a robust pace attack. Sammy justified this move by saying: "We have found ourselves in a position where our seam attack could operate in any conditions. That six-to-eight-metre length works across the world. But in our fast-bowling department, we've got four different guys who have their own variety." He added: "You have Shamar Joseph, who's very skiddy, Jayden, who has a strong front leg and can swing the ball both ways, then you have Alzarri Joseph with his height and the bounce he could extract. So, again, we take confidence in that, especially the way they've been bowling over the last year. The ability to take 20 wickets, because that's what you will need in India."

He said: "The lines and lengths don't change in terms of that six-to-eight-metre length. Maybe it's just adjusting whether it's a touch fuller or touch further back into the pitch. I have full confidence in that and it makes me smile knowing that we go out bowling and we take 20 wickets. And that's the first objective in the Test match." The Test series will start on October 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, with the second Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. With India being a fortress in home conditions, West Indies will require skill and belief to turn around.
