COURTNEY WALSH INTERVIEW: How West Indies can get back on top - in just two years

West Indies' white-ball tour of England finishes in Southampton on Tuesday, with the tourists seeking to avoid a sixth defeat out of six on a trip in which not all their best players were available because of IPL commitments.

Virat Kohli anchored the innings but struggled to accelerate, eventually falling for 43 to Azmatullah Omarzai while trying to up the scoring rate.
