West Indies T20 captain Rovman Powell said he won’t ‘jump the gun’ as it relates to Guyanese spinner Gudakesh Motie being the spin partner for fellow left-armer Akeal Hosein.

After Motie was overlooked for the T20 series against India in August, Powell said West Indies were searching for a spinner to accompanying Hosein, a sentiment that received public ridicule given Motie had impressed in the preceding ODI series against India with six wickets in three games.

Motie has continued to impress, taking 12 wickets in the league stage of the ongoing CPL, the most by a Caribbean spinner so far this season.

On Sunday night, Powell was questioned on his position on Motie being the spin option that the West Indies are looking for. Here is what he said.
