With Brian Lara: With Brian Lara being the mentor to an inexperienced West Indies Test team ahead of their Tests against Australia, wicketkeeper-batter Joshua da Silva said the knowledge of the legendary batter about batting and adapting to the conditions is second to none.

Though Lara will be commentating for Fox Cricket on the Tests in Adelaide and Brisbane, Lara will also be mentoring the West Indies team, who have seven uncapped players in their 15-man squad. Lara had been in the same capacity when West Indies toured South Africa last year.

"The knowledge he has is second to none. What he's done for the game, what he's done for West Indies cricket on his own … so just to have him around, just his presence alone speaks for itself. "
