Well Chase is not the only one that's looking for victory. T&T's Head Coach Rayad Emrit is also hoping to lift his first title in charge of the Red Force ahead of the Regional Super 50 tournament. He believes making the players more professional will go a long way towards achieving that objective.
00:00Coach Riyad Emreth is hungry for victory, taking the TNT Red Force to the regional Super 50 title he believes will lift the spirit of the country.
00:08You know, it would be nice to win a title, first official 50 of a charge, so it would be nice to win.
00:16But it's not about me, you know, it's about the guys putting in the hard work and, you know, when they win, I guess everybody wins.
00:23So, it's the entire nation wins, you know.
00:27At present, the team is missing a few players who are representing the West Indies, but he says it's not all bad.
00:33Fortunately and unfortunately, we'll be missing a lot of guys on international duty.
00:39I think it's five or six guys on international duty, so we know that the guys who are here, they are vying for spots on international circuit as well.
00:50So, it is important, very important, that they understand their roles and they want to go on to the next level.
00:56Can you make recommendations for players to be on the West Indies team? So, in other words, do you interact with Darren Sami at all?
01:03We have discussions. You know, I cannot tell him who to pick and who not to pick, but we have discussions about players and who they are looking at and that sort of thing.
01:13In the meantime, he says his main objective is to change the culture of the team towards being more professional and, in the process, win matches.
01:20So, what objectives have you set out for them for this season?
01:24You know, we want to win tournaments. You know, that's the most important thing, but it's a process to win the tournaments.
01:32Again, the culture, if you change the culture, the way we practice, that's one thing that I have seen a change in.
01:39Guys wanting to practice, guys wanting to be here, guys wanting to hit a lot more balls, guys wanting to bowl a lot more balls.
