We had a heavy dose of T20 cricket over the last few months and even though the shortest format will continue to entertain us, the ODI and Test formats are also back in business now. We have West Indies travelling over to Pakistan for the ODI series that was postponed in December 2021 because of Covid-19. It will be a three-match ODI series and a very crucial one for both sides as 30 crucial points in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League are up for grabs. All three games will be played at Multan and both the teams will have to find ways to tackle the threat of heat along with the threat of their opponents. West Indies have started their new phase in limited-overs cricket under the leadership of Nicholas Pooran in a positive fashion by winning all three ODIs in Netherlands. However, there is still enough room for improvement in this young Windies team and playing against Pakistan will be a big test for them. They will be boosted by the presence of Rovman Powell and Romario Shepherd who
