3 English players to watch out for in England vs West Indies 3rd Test

The English cricket team dominated the West Indies in the Test series in England. They have played some class knocks, which helped them clinch the 3-match series, 2-0, while the warm-up match ended up in a tie. The last match will be played in Edgbaston, Birmingham. The 2nd and the 3rd Test matches were quite interesting as they won the matches with huge margins. While James Anderson has already retired from cricket, he’s with the team to help them in the bowling department. 

Let’s discuss the three English players to watch out for in the England vs West Indies encounter:

1. Ollie Pope

Ollie Pope is England’s one of the most promising batters who has done well in almost all the matches. He has been the team’s backbone and plays like an intelligent player. Pope knows his game well and goes after the bowler whenever needed. He’s a talented batter and can break multiple records with his batting. He’s currently one of the best openers in the English team. 

2. Chris Woakes

Chris Woakes doesn’t only bowl but also bats. He is a great player who has good line and length and can hit the ball out of the park. He is an all-rounder and plays well. Woakes has been with the team for a long time and now has become an irreplaceable part of the England team. He has taken some brilliant wickets and showed his potential. He’s a worthy bowler, and now England have understood his worth. 

3. Gus Atkinson

Another great bowler of England, Gus Atkinson, has bowled brilliantly in the entire series. Atkinson can take wickets in clutch situations, which goes in favor of England. His bowling style is unique, and most of the time, he keeps it simple. Hence, he has taken quite a lot of wickets in the series.
