Gutted after their shock loss to Scotland, West Indies coach Phil Simmons on Monday urged his boys to wake up and pick up the pieces as they gear up for a must-win challenge against Zimbabwe in the T20 World Cup. Only four of their batters reached double digits as it was an abject batting surrender by the Nicholas Pooran-led side who folded for 118 in 18.3 overs, chasing Scotland's 161. "Our batting definitely was a bit unprofessional. We need to wake up and start being as professional as we can be when we are batting," Simmons said in the post-match media conference here.

Not many are giving the West Indies a chance with as many as 12 players, who took part in the World Cup 12 months ago, not travelling to Australia for different reasons. The team will be missing the likes of Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo and Lendl Simmons who all have retired from international cricket. Andre Russell and Sunil Narine are also not here.
(Reuters) - Shimron Hetmyer's last-minute exclusion typifies what ails West Indies cricket but the game's shortest format remains their strong suit and the young side are determined to give a good account of themselves in the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia.
