Babar Azam and his men are ready to face the challenge of West Indies

When Pakistan and the West Indies meet in Multan tomorrow (Wednesday), it will mark the start of a new era for Pakistani cricket as the city hosts international cricket after 14 long years.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/babar-azam-08_06_2022.jpg">The three One-Day Internationals are part of the Super League cycle and both sides are keen to secure crucial points to improve their chances of direct qualification for the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup. 

The two teams go into the series with a lot of self-confidence. 

Babar Azam's side defeated Aaron Finch's men 2-1 in Lahore in March in what was Pakistan's first ODI series win over Australia in 20 years. This is Pakistan's fifth Super League series. They defeated Zimbabwe, South Africa and Australia and lost to England.

He is the only batsman to smash five centuries in the current cycle, with Irishman Paul Stirling second best with three. The stylish hitmaker for right-handers sent exactly 100 balls in the direction of the four-way fence.Pakistan's second-best batter in the cycle was Imam-ul-Haq, who enters the series at bottom of a scintillating Australian series in which he has batted two consecutive centuries and a brisk 89 without a shot and played an integral part in his side's historic victory. The southpaw has 598 carries at 54.36 and hit five half centuries along with the two centuries.Fearsome pacer - Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi - are the leading wicket takers for Pakistan in the Super League with 19 scalps each.

Home to passionate cricket fans, Multan is a great place to be. I look forward to fans cheering the return of international cricket after a long hiatus and I'm sure they will see great cricket at the beautiful Multan Cricket Stadium. 

“This is an important series for us as it contains important Super League points. The players have been trying hard to prepare for the West Indies Challenge and we are excited to win another series and collect maximum points to solidify our chances of direct qualification for the 2023 World Cup.” 

West Indian captain <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/53715/nicholas-pooran">Nicholas Pooran</a>: "It feels good to be here. I have confidence in our guys after we did well in the Netherlands and we hope to continue our good performances here in Pakistan.

We saw him perform for the Guyana Harpy Eagles in the recent four-day West Indies Championship competition and we believe he is ready to return to the group," said CWI Lead Selector, the Most Honorable Dr. Desmond Haynes.

The right-handed batter has all the shots in his arsenal and looks forward to another brilliant display of batting in the first ODI.Alzarri Joseph has to pick wickets with the new ball. The right-arm pacer consistently hits hard length and can cause a lot of trouble with his pace. Joseph could also be put in charge of bowling in the death overs to stem the tide of runs against the Men in Green.Imam-Ul-Haq is a consistent player and has fantastic numbers in Pakistan. Since he opens the innings and West Indian bowling isn't great, he's another brilliant option for captaincy.

“The temperate climate here (in Lahore) is similar to what we will experience in Multan, maybe a notch or two higher. We already have our camps here and train back and forth to get used to it. As an expert, you must deal with these conditions. We travel to different countries to play and even during our time in the UAE we faced similar temperatures. I think that won't be a problem and we'll try to end this sequence with an exaggerated word."The PCB has helped its employees to combat the heat in Multan. The board may offer ice collars, vests and more water breaks to keep players hydrated.

WI vs NED: Shai Hope Century leads West Indies to win 1st ODI over Netherlands

West Indies opener Shai Hope hit his 11th one-day international century to lead his team to a seven-wicket win over the Netherlands in a game reduced to 45 overs in Amstelveen on Tuesday.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/shai-hope-01_06_2022.jpg">West Indies opener <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/46943/shai-hope">Shai Hope </a>hit his 11th one-day international century to lead his team to a seven-wicket win over the Netherlands in a game reduced to 45 overs in Amstelveen on Tuesday. Although the Dutch only scored 240 for seven, the Duckworth-Lewis method adjusted the goal to 247, which passed the West Indies with 11 balls left. Hope, who didn't account for 119, and colleague Shamarh Brooks quickly coped with the damp conditions that allowed the Dutch Searns to move the ball around and added 120 for the first wicket.Brooks rattled out 60 of 67 balls before Logan van Beek fired him with an excellent back catch. 

<a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/1905/logan-van-beek">Van Beek</a> removed Nkrumah Bonner's leg before the first ball and Aryan Dutt bowled Nicholas Pooran for seven to leave the West Indies at 133 for three in slightly dangerous territory. 

But Hope kept his head and found a solid ally in Brandon King, who shared an unbroken fourth-wicket partnership of 116. 

Hope reached his 100 of 113 balls and finished with 119 of 130 balls, including 12 fours and two sixes. 

Once Hope reached his barrel, King at the other end raised the ante, beating van Beek for a six and a four of consecutive balls. 

The 27-year-old Jamaican posted his first ODI 50, clubbing Ryan Klein to end the winning line with 58 from 51 balls.<a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/96055/vikramjit-singh">Vikramjit Singh </a>and Max O'Dowd had previously given the Dutchman a solid start as they added 60 in straight time for the first wicket after being put in the bat. 

Singh was particularly impressive as he hit six fours and two sixes in his 47 of 45 balls. But when he fell a leg before checking on Akeal Hosein, the innings lost its early momentum. 

O'Dowd (39), Bas de Leede (17) and Scott Edwards (14) each scored a single limit as the West Indies turned the screw. 

Teja Nidamanuru, an all-rounder who has played for Auckland in the past, got them back on track and marked his ODI debut with a lively 58 from 51 balls that took the Netherlands to the respectable 240 total for seven from their 45 overs . 

The result puts the West Indies 1-0 ahead in the three-game series, with the second ODI taking place in Amstelveen on Thursday.

Ramnaresh Sarwan resigns as Selector for West Indies

Former West Indies captain Ramnaresh Sarwan has resigned from his role as senior and junior men's panel selector effective immediately for personal reasons. The resignation comes just five months after a term that was expected to run until mid-2024.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/ramnaresh-sarwan-31_05_2022.jpg">Robert Haynes has replaced Sarwan on an interim basis pending Cricket West Indies (CWI) recruiting a new candidate to fill the vacant position. Haynes, who was a legspinner during his playing days, also serves as one of the junior panel selectors. Desmond Haynes is the head of the current senior men's selection committee, which also includes head coach Phil Simmons. 

CWI cricket director Jimmy Adams was disappointed that <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/57689/ramnaresh-sarwan">Ramnaresh Sarwan</a> was not able to continue as selector but also understood the reasons why. He also thanked said person for their contribution to West Indies cricket during this time.Given his extensive experience in the game, we're disappointed that Ramnaresh isn't able to continue in the Selector role, but we fully understand and accept his reasons. We are grateful for his contribution during the time he has been involved and hope he can contribute in some way to West Indies cricket in the future," he said.The West Indies are currently in the NetherlandsThe West India men's senior team is currently in the<a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/team/1824/netherlands"> Netherlands</a> for their first-ever ODI series against the Netherlands. The series is part of the ongoing ICC ODI Super League, designed to help teams qualify directly for next year's 50-Over World Championship in India. West Indies are currently 10th in the 13-team pool. The top seven and hosts India qualify directly while two remaining spots are decided by qualifying. 
The Caribbean is led by new captain <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/53715/nicholas-pooran">Nicholas Pooran</a>, who was appointed to the helm after Kieron Pollard announced his international retirement last month while playing for the Mumbai Indians in the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
