West Indies No 3 Shai Hope has admitted he needs to overcome a 'mental' barrier if he is to reproduce the form that briefly made him a Test sensation at Headingley three years ago.
Hope made 147 and 118 not out in that game as West Indies famously chased down 322 to stun Joe Root's England. But they remain the only Test centuries of his 31-game career – and account for 17 per cent of his overall tally of 1,498 at a modest average of 27.
By contrast, he averages 52 in one-day internationals, where he is ranked 13th in the world.
