Salaam Cricket 2019: Viv Richards backs West Indies to win World Cup 2019

"I can tell you the team that are going to win the World Cup this year, they come pretty close to the West Indies team I played in. They have got the same physical look. And I can only speak of my West Indian team. We are physically blessed in all various departments. But when you look at the guys on the field itself, I saw them at Trent Bridge the other day. The physicality reminds me of Joel Garner, Michael Holding, Andy Roberts. All those things we had in the past. We have some explosive batsmen and I think this year these guys are going to create their own legacy. What I saw at Trent Bridge against Pakistan, I believe they can go all the way," Viv Richards said at Salaam Cricket 2019.
