'I don't think anything will change': Andre Fletcher

"I don't think anything will change. We'll continue being positive and playing our brand of cricket. It's sometimes tough - winning two T20 World Cups and ranking No. 9 in the world is kind of off-balance, but I believe we'll get back up there in the rankings," ESPNCricinfo quoted Fletcher as saying.

At the same time, the Grenadian cricketer also went on to say that the reigning T20 world champions will be looking at the three-match T20I series as a part of their preparation for the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 that will be held in India in October-November.

"It's a part of our preparation for the World Cup. For all teams playing now, that's what they're getting their minds up for. Hopefully, we can start well and see where it takes us. We've practiced a lot, we've trained very hard, we've put in the work, and we strongly believe that we are capable and ready," said Fletcher.
