Talented up and coming West Indies fast bowler Jayden Seales has vowed to continue focusing on development as he does not believe himself to be the finished product.
Seales played a leading role in the team’s one wicket over Pakistan earlier this week, in the process of securing his first-ever five-wicket haul. In the process, he also made history by becoming the youngest West Indies bowler to achieve the feat at 19 years and 336 days.
With many already predicting a big future for the young player, however, Seales himself believes it is important to keep both feet firmly planted on the ground. Over the last few years, several young fast bowlers have threatened to make the breakthrough for the Caribbean team but have seen their development stalled at various points.
“It’s just for me to stay in the moment. I will ride the fame and everything, but for me, it’s about continuing to work on my game. I’m not where I want it to be. I’m not the finished product. I know I can be better,” Seales told members of the media on Tuesday.
“It’s just for me to work on my game a little more, build on the things I want to improve on, build from there and eventually become better.”
In three matches so far Seales has claimed a total of 13 wickets.
The second match of the two-Test series will begin on Friday at Jamaica’s Sabina Park.
