Commenting, head coach Phil Simmons said he was pleased with the fight-back on the final day of the first Test, which ended on Friday in a draw at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground in Antigua.

“We saw a really good display on the final day, which earned us a draw. It was a tough situation, but Jason Holder played really well to get his first Test century and we also saw a courageous effort from the captain (Denesh Ramdin) and Kemar Roach at the end. We had some good moments in the first match and as a team we will look to improve when we play the second Test. We believe we can win, and we will play to win. We know the areas where we need to improve and what is required to win,” Simmons said.
