CMC – NORTH SOUND, Antigua – Guyanese spinner Devendra Bishoo, has credited hard work and changes to his bowling action for his recent success in regional first class cricket.
Bishoo, one of the leading bowlers in the recently concluded WICB Professional Cricket League (PCL), also enjoyed a six wicket haul as a member of the West Indies training squad preparing to play against England.
“Over the years I was struggling a little bit but I started feeling more confident. I was feeling good. I was working hard. At the end of the day hard work always pays off,” said Bishoo.
“I made one or two adjustments with my bowling action and stuff like that. I am more comfortable now. Everything is going well and I am so happy. I think I am smarter when it comes to bowling and I am pretty confident in whatever I am doing. This is my best first class season”.
The 29-year-old leg-spinner took 61 wickets to help Guyana Jaguars win the inaugural PCL Four-day Tournament.
Bishoo made his debut for West Indies in 2011 and was that year named the ICC Emerging Cricketer of the Year. He played 11 Test matches but lost his place in 2012.
“I’m very happy to be back in the West Indies camp,” he said.
“I was out of the team but I knew I was good enough to make my way back into the team. I made some changes to my action and now I would say I’m bowling the best I have ever bowled.”
The three Test Matches will be played at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua; Grenada National Stadium; and Kensington Oval in Barbados.
The West Indies continued their preparation for the Series with training sessions yesterday afternoon and this morning at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground.
