After a 3-0 whitewash against England in England, West Indies have a chance to redeem themselves as they prepare to host South Africa for a two-match Test series at home. The first Test of the series will be played at the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad starting Wednesday, August 7.
As a result of their forgettable tour of England, West Indies have slipped to the bottom of the World Test Championship (WTC) points table. The Kraigg Brathwaite-led side has played seven Tests in the ongoing cycle with one win, five losses and a draw.
Their PCT (Points Percentage System) is 19.04 - the lowest among all the nine participants.
The team from the Caribbean desperately needs to win the series to stay in contention for a place in the summit clash of the event.
On the other hand, South Africa's senior players are back to represent the country after they missed the two-match away tour of New Zealand in February due to their involvement in the second edition of the SA20.
The Proteas are seventh on the table with a solitary win and three losses in the four games that they have played in the ongoing cycle. Their only win came against India in a home series.
South Africa's red-ball head coach Shukri Conrad has mentioned that the pitch for the first Test is going to provide plenty of assistance to spinners but surprisingly they have just included a solitary spinner in their playing XI in the form of Keshav Maharaj.
Whereas West Indies have added two left-arm spinners in their attack in the form of Jomel Warrican and Gudakesh Motie.
