Junior Murray pleased with Test recall

The Jamaica Gleaner

Windward Islands wicket-keeper/batsman Junior Murray told The Gleaner yesterday he is pleased about his recall to the West Indies' cricket team.

"I am extremely happy to be back into the Test squad again on a full West Indies tour," said Murray, who is playing for Surrey in the County Cricket Championship here.

"I am looking forward to good performances with both the bat and the gloves as I hope to cement my place on the team," he said.

Murray also believes that after playing in his last Test for the West Indies nearly six months ago, his cricket has improved.

"My wicket-keeping is now on a high, thanks to Jeffrey Dujon who helped me to correct my faults in Antigua some weeks ago. My batting has come a very long way and I am confident and I believe in myself whenever I go to the wicket," he said.

However, Murray said he was surprised at his exclusion from the one-day squad that will tour Bangladesh.

"I was a bit surprised the selectors did not see me fit to go on the one-day squad to tour Bangladesh as I thought that one-day cricket would really suit my form of game," Murray said.
