Why adopting the T20 mindset in Tests can work for West Indies 

#4 Ideal for current times

Times are changing

Test cricket is evolving and in the current situation, it is trying to keep up with the shorter format of the game. Fewer games are ending in draws and the result percentage has increased drastically in Test cricket.

The pitches these days deteriorate quickly and playing on fourth or the fifth day is like walking on a minefield. West Indies lack the skills to negotiate the threat of these conditions and hence their best chance to win a Test is by finishing the match quickly.

In the era of bigger bats and bowlers losing the ability to reverse swing the ball, applying the T20 mindset can change the fortunes for the Caribbean team as this mindset suits the modern conditions.
