The West Indies will be keen to put in a solid all-round performance as they seek their maiden Test victory in Sri Lanka in the three-match series starting in Galle on Monday.
The West Indies have so far played six Tests in Sri Lanka, losing five and drawing one.
The visitors, who are without experienced batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan, will find it tough to change the script this time under new skipper Darren Sammy and vice-captain Brendan Nash.
All-rounder Sammy, who replaced Chris Gayle, has been given the task of building the team for the future after being named captain last month.
Gayle and vice-captain Dwayne Bravo were replaced after they turned down central contracts offered by the cricket board.
But the pair have been named in the squad and are expected to play key roles in their team's campaign along with veteran batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul.
Sammy, who has played only eight Tests since making his debut in 2007, is confident of a good performance from his team.
"We want to win, to play well and bring the passion and pride back to the West Indies. We are a little bit inexperienced, but we have put in a good preparation work ahead of our coming here," he said ahead of the series.
"I am very confident of all the players I have here, likewise all the players are confident of giving off their best for the West Indies."
