The Windies arrived in Manchester on Tuesday as they gear up for the return of Test cricket, which has been affected by the COVID-19 outbreak.
Three players, Shimron Hetmyer, Keemo Paul and Darren Bravo, opted not to travel, but skipper Jason Holder says those who have feel “pretty safe”.
“To be honest, I feel pretty safe. I must commend the ECB, they’ve been outstanding,” he said.
“We had a chartered airline and arriving here in Manchester was pretty smooth.
“We just transferred directly from the plane through the VIP hall and then straight onto the buses directly to the hotel. We’ve had no real experience with anyone from the public.
“Everything so far has been rolled out perfectly and whilst it continues that way, I can’t see much interference coming with regards to the series.
“Before coming here to England, we all knew what was being posed. We’ve all made a decision to come over here, not been forced, and we’ve done it because we want to be here, we want to play cricket.
“Personally, I’m happy to be playing some cricket, not many other nations are. Many organisations are taking pay cuts and we have suddenly got our opportunity now to make some money, so we have a lot of things to be thankful for and I think we just have to relish the opportunity and grab it with both hands.”
