A crowd of close to 13,000 is expected for the opening day, and it will be extra special for the pair. They will be playing in front close friends and family at the historic Kensington Oval.
“We are the so-called underdogs…but if we play our cricket we can win,” said the 25-year-old Hope. “We are all confident and we believe our preparation has been very good. This could be the start of a special year for us, with the Test Series here and then onto the World Cup. There is a lot to play for.”
