West Indies coach John Dyson said that though the Indians are missing some of their key players, his team would not make the mistake of underestimating them.

 

It should be noted that India are on tour without their star players Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan. Instead what MS Dhoni has for company includes the likes of Abhishek Nayar, S Badrinath and Murali Vijay in the ranks. All the three unknown to Caribbean conditions.

 

Dyson said his team would make a big mistake if they take the Indian rookies lightly in the four-match ODI series starting at Sabina Park on Friday.

 

"We don't know how they're going to perform and that's something we have to monitor as the series progresses," Dyson said.

 

The coach arrived in Jamaica on Tuesday with six other West Indies players, including Trinidadian Darren Bravo, Dwayne's brother and the coach felt the youngster stood a good chance in the series.

 

"If you look at the possible side that could walk out on the field, we have an extra batsman, we have an all-rounder who is also a very good batsman, normal pace and reserved pace which is good and spinner. Hopefully, (Chris) Gayle will be providing back-up spin to him," he said.
