DHAKA – Former West Indies captain Richie Richardson said on Wednesday he looked forward to another era of Caribbean domination in world cricket, saying the journey had already begun.
“The glory days will be back soon,” Richardson told AFP ahead of his team’s crucial World Cup game against hosts Bangladesh at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium on Friday. “I can never forget those days when we dominated the world. Every team has its up and downs, but I am confident we will get there because we are on the right path.”
Both the West Indies and Bangladesh are eyeing a crucial win to boost their quarter-final hopes, but Richardson, 49, who now manages the visitors, refused to put his team under pressure. “Every World Cup game is important for us,” Richardson told reporters as the West Indies trained for three hours under the hot sun.
