Ahmed feels they are well-prepared to take on West Indies

"It's an important series and the first match will set a tone for the series," Sarfraz said on the eve of the first T20I in Bridgetown. "PSL is an advantage as the boys are coming through playing T20 cricket. Many players who performed have been rewarded. I think it's a good sign that PSL is happening and players who are performing in domestic are being selected. [Legspinner] Shadab [Khan] did well, so did [left-arm pacer] Usman [Khan], so it's good to have top performers such as these boys coming through; this event is helping us unearth talent."
