Desmond Haynes, the West Indies batting coach, has called for the Barbados Scorpions pacers to show more aggression and effectiveness in upcoming regional matches. Speaking to the media on April 24, 2026, Haynes emphasized the need for the bowlers to develop a 'sting' that can trouble opposing batsmen.
Haynes, a former West Indies opener, noted that while the Scorpions have talent in their pace attack, consistency and wicket-taking ability remain areas for improvement. He stressed the importance of bowling with discipline and intent, especially in the longer format of the game.
The comments come as the Scorpions prepare for the next round of the West Indies Championship, where they aim to climb the standings. Haynes' remarks highlight the team's focus on sharpening their bowling unit to compete effectively.
