Shai Hope is one of the brightest prospects in store for the Windies. In a career that is relatively young, the batsman from Barbados has shown a lot of promise for the days to come. In fact, his famous twin hundreds at Headingley drew plaudits from all across the cricketing world and gave a glimpse of his capabilities with the bat.

However, much like any other Windies batsman of the modern era, Hope too, has disappointed with inconsistency. The 24-year-old has been criticised for going into the shell regularly, thereby slowing down the team's scoring rate. The right-hander has represented Windies in 24 games thus far and has amassed 1301 runs at a poor strike rate of 43.07. For someone who is deemed to be the next big thing in Carribean cricket, Hope will be looking to better his scoring rate and add an enhanced dimension to his game.
