Fast bowler Kemar Roach insists that West Indies have a bright future despite their elimination from ICC Men바카라s Cricket World Cup 2019 following their 125-run defeat by India. Roach, 30, was the pick of the Windies bowlers at Old Trafford, taking 3/36, including the big wicket of opener Rohit Sharma.

Speaking after his side바카라s fifth defeat from seven games, Roach said: 바카라We have to look at ourselves deeply and move forward. We바카라re out now but there바카라s a future for us.Â
바카라We바카라re still learning and there바카라s a couple of young guys in the team who have great futures. We have some quality players around like Shimron Hetmyer and Oshane Thomas. Once they get good guidance they will do well for West Indies.Â
바카라I will always be a fan of West Indies cricket. There are some more players back home and hopefully you바카라ll see them filter into the side in the near future.바카라
Roach defended the decision to use up his and captain Jason Holder바카라s quota of overs well before the end of the Indian innings.
India바카라s total of 268/7 was short of where they seemed to be heading after the second-wicket stand of 69 between KL Rahul and Virat Kohli.Â
But the Windies never got close and lost their last seven wickets for 63 runs in 14 overs.
Roach said: 바카라I trust Jason as skipper. He바카라s been a good skipper for us the last couple of years and of course it was early that we had both bowled out.Â
바카라But you want to get stuck into the Indian middle order as early as possible. It was a slow pitch. It was all about being consistent with the ball and bowling good areas.Â
바카라I was in good rhythm and bowled pretty well. I was proud of my figures and being economical. Jason also bowled well 바카라 in fact all the bowlers did well.
바카라We did a pretty good job of restricting them to 268, which I thought was a below-par total. But India are a tough team. They바카라re smart and they know what they바카라re doing.Â
바카라Playing against them is an eye opener 바카라 you have to be very sharp. They have a quality batting line-up with world-class players.바카라Â
Roach has played only three of West Indies바카라 seven matches so far in the tournament and had no explanation for his side바카라s disappointing showing following their victory over Pakistan at Trent Bridge in the second match of ICC Men바카라s Cricket World Cup 2019.
He said: 바카라It바카라s tough to say. The guys were very confident after the start against Pakistan but then we had a couple of close games against Australia and New Zealand.Â
"You want to get over the line and get some confidence.바카라
