We are working on our middle-overs batting: West Indies batting coach

West Indies assistant coach Floyd Reifer spoke to the media ahead of the second one-day international against India, addressing his team's ongoing efforts to improve their batting performance during the middle overs, particularly against spin bowling. Reifer noted that the squad aims to regain the scoring momentum they achieved in 2024 and 2025 when they averaged over six runs per over in that phase of the game.

In addition to batting concerns, Reifer emphasized the need for better fielding discipline following a costly dropped catch of India captain Shubman Gill during the opening match of the series. He stressed that players must maintain focus and capitalize on opportunities, noting that top-tier opponents cannot be given reprieves.
