West Indies, two-time former champions, are going to be absent from an ODI World Cup for the primary time when the match takes place in India later this yr. The points for West Indies begin from the muse of the sport again residence, captain Shai Hope stated after the defeat to Scotland ended their qualification hopes in Harare on Saturday, including that "we can't come here and expect to be an elite team without that backing and preparation"."It starts from the foundation. Preparation needs to be better. That's from back home," Hope instructed Ian Bishop on the official broadcast. "So, yeah, it starts from there. We can't just expect to wake up one morning and be a great team. There's a lot of things that we need to focus on. And yeah, we need to control (what) we can control. Right now, we are here playing cricket, and we need to make sure we give our all to the West Indian fans."West Indies got here into the Super Six stage of the qualifying occasion in Zimbabwe with none factors from the group stage, having misplaced to Zimbabwe and Netherlands, the 2 groups to maneuver up from the identical group. That meant they needed to win each Super Six recreation to face an opportunity, however fell quick on the first hurdle, placing up a lacklustre present in opposition to Scotland to lose by seven wickets.

"To be honest, it's not one thing [I can] put my finger on. We definitely need to look at all the areas," Hope stated when requested if he knew the place West Indies fell quick. "Certainly, I felt we let ourselves down here in the entire tournament. But yeah, we need to look at the way we start our innings [and] definitely the fielding."

"I probably have to say [it's] the mindset - fielding is really and truly an attitude, in my opinion, and I think we need to give a bigger effort, especially with the attitude," Hope stated. "Catches will be dropped, misfields will happen, it's part of the game, but the effort needs to remain. I don't think we gave that 100% effort every single time. We did it in patches, but we certainly need to improve in that."

Against Scotland, West Indies misplaced the toss and have been requested to bat. They have been 30 for 4 inside seven overs, because the Scotland quicks - led by Brandon McMullen - struck at will, virtually, after which reached 81 for six, their top-six batters gone, within the twenty first over. There was a fightback after that, however not certainly one of word.

"We knew the conditions were definitely in the bowlers' favour; the toss is really crucial here - we see every single captain [that] wins the toss elects to field first," Hope stated. "So we need to find ways to negate that early-morning movement. [But] again, we can't really look at the past, we need to look at ways to move forward and get better.

"We know there's two extra video games left. We must discover a solution to bounce again, end the match positively no less than.

"We need to make sure we transfer the talent [back home] into consistent performances and that's the only way we can rise in the rankings."
