ABP News  

The iconic Brian Lara is impressed with the talent available in West Indies cricket but he wants the youngsters to work on the “mental aspect” of their game ahead of the Test series against India starting on Thursday.

The holder of 11,953 Test runs wants West Indies to start consistently winning at home in order to build a foundation that will later help them win abroad. The young players are working hard, Floyd Reifer and his team are actually putting things together pretty good,” Lara said, while sharing experiences from his playing days.
