“These experiences gave me a lot more encouragement and showed me the things I needed to do to play at the highest level. So, playing in these tournaments made me work harder from then and I brought it into my game now,” said Seales.
He continued: “Playing in the U-19 World Cup gave me that extra push and confidence. Playing in the international scene for the first time allowed me to see how it is playing in that setting and allowed me to understand the things I needed to do to become an international cricketer.”
A few months ahead of the World Cup, Seales had experience of the regional Under-19 tournament in St. Vincent, camps in Antigua and Tri Series against England and Sri Lanka on home soil. He was also a member of the West Indies Emerging Players team which won the CG Insurance Super50 tournament.
“I’m definitely excited to see this group of guys play at home. I know most of the guys are fairly young compared to when we were playing U-19s, but they are good cricketers as well and I hope they put on a good showing and get themselves onto the International scene as well.” (CWI)
