00:00Jaden, I know you're getting ready for another series with the West Indies.

00:04This time you're looking to make it four straight wins in the Caribbean in the ODI format.

00:10How confident are the guys?

00:11Because I know you all came out for a tough 5-0 and a 2-1 against Pakistan, Australia and Pakistan.

00:17Yeah, we're confident.

00:19We think we could bounce back from it.

00:21We know where we went wrong.

00:23And it's just about putting all our skills into practice here today

00:26and then looking forward to the series starting come Friday.

00:28And with regards to the, I'm not asking you to let the cat out of the bag,

00:33but how do you all plan to approach the encounter against the men in green?

00:38It's just about getting our tactics right and just training with a purpose,

00:44keeping our intensities high in training

00:45and work on the things that we fell short in the past games and just get better as we go along.

00:51What personal goals you have set for yourself? Have you set any and what are they?

00:55Honestly, no. I don't set personal goals coming into the series.

00:58It's about playing my best cricket, putting my best foot forward for the team at all times

01:01and wherever the outcome is at the end of the series, I'll be very happy with.

01:04And I know that if we want to avoid having to get into the World Cup qualifiers,

01:11like we met the Mino Nations in the past, like Netherlands and so on,

01:15but I'm sure you'll want to get out of that, you'll want to get into that stage.

01:19So what have the boys talked about in trying to not reach there?

01:24Yeah, just take every series as it comes step by step.

01:26We know what is at stake, we know the teams that we have to play,

01:29we know how many series we need to win or how many games we need to win

01:32to not be in that situation again.

01:34And it's obviously important for us as a team to get into the World Cup

01:37with all going through the qualifiers and be embarrassed, so to speak, again.

01:40So we're trying our best, we're playing our best cricket that we can

01:43and we're working our best to get to that stage.

01:47On a last note from me,

01:49how confident are you that you can win this series against Pakistan?

01:52Yeah, I'm pretty confident and we have a good bunch of boys, 50 of our team has been doing well

01:57barring that one series in England where we lost, but I think we've been building well,

02:02we're understanding our rules a lot better and we're playing together as a team.
