Former England captain Michael Vaughan hailed West Indies'"incredible" victory over England in the series opener and said their performance had been all the more remarkable given cricket was just returning from the COVID-19 shutdown.
West Indies, No. 8 in the test rankings, arrived in England without batsmen Darren Bravo and Shimron Hetmyer and all-rounder Keemo Paul, who pulled out of the tour citing concerns about safety during the pandemic.Few expected them to beat fourth-ranked England but Jason Holder's team prevailed by four wickets in a see-saw contest."For the West Indies to have come over to play is remarkable in these times... For them to have played so well & won is incredible," tweeted Vaughan.
Indian great Sachin Tendulkar praised the"good all-round" performance by both teams while captain Virat Kohli also hailed the"Top display of test cricket".
