It's time to play cricket. That's what we're here for. We have had our challenges in the past and this is another challenge. I'm excited about the possibilities.

Obviously New Zealand has been playing better cricket than us but we back ourselves, if we perform well, to be very competitive against them.

The most famous cricketers are too big to play county cricket.

I'm delighted about playing in my first Test even though it has been some time in the making.

It is great to be selected in a West Indies Test squad. I've really enjoyed my time representing the West Indies at the one-day level, but Test cricket is the real test.

Irrespective of what happened in the past (the just-concluded Test series), we will play positive and good cricket.
