00:00The West Indies face a tough challenge from hosts England in three T20s followed by three

00:04ODIs with the action starting Wednesday in Canterbury.

00:08Windy's coach Shane Deed says the players have given it their all during training and

00:13plan to do the same on the field of play.

00:15Yeah I think to be competitive here is going to be the ultimate goal, you know we've just

00:22come from Pakistan where it was 46 degrees every day and the girls had regionals which

00:27was real hot and we come here you know we trained this morning it was 10 degrees when we arrived

00:32so you got to get used to these conditions first and foremost and we trained really well today

00:37so that adjustment is starting to happen so we just want to be competitive in every game here.

00:42Having missed out on a spot for this year's fifth day over world cup in India

00:46the ladies in Maroon will be using this tour as a rebuilding process.

00:50As such Deed sees this as an important series even though world cup qualification is not at stake.

00:56My job is to come in to win world cups that's what we're trying to do win a world cup

01:00and we can't play the way we've been playing over the last you know 10 years because we haven't won

01:06a world cup in 10 years so we've got to change the way we play change our approach to make sure that

01:11we've got a style of cricket and the players to be able to beat Australia beat England beat India

01:18South Africa New Zealand all those top teams.

01:20The team is without Chanel Henry because of a leg injury while Deandra Doughton sustained an injury

01:26while playing in the women's premier league in India. The coach sees it as a big loss for the West

01:30Indies team.

01:31Obviously missing two world class players obviously Deandra's been world class for a long time and

01:38you know she hurt her knee quick update she hurt her knee in the IPL and so she's going to be out for a

01:45bit longer and she should be back full fitness in a month or two so it's a shame we haven't got her

01:51and um you know she come back and made a huge impact to the team in the world cup last year

01:55and a real big impact in St Kitts against the Bangladesh series so we're going to miss her

02:01and obviously Chanel Henry's you know been a revelation in the last three or four months.

02:06IPL she hit the most sixes in the IPL again in regionals last week she made a great 100 in T20

02:12cricket. The side will be captained by Hayley Matthews with Shemaine Campbell as a deputy.
