    "editor1": "<p>Dubai, Sep 23 (CRICKETNMORE): Rookie fast bowler Kesrick Williams says variation will be a key part of his arsenal once he gets a chance to show his skills in the Twenty20 International series against Pakistan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The uncapped 26-year-old, a late call-up to the West Indies squad for the three-match series, said while he had the ability to bowl at pace, it would be more important to use a combination of different deliveries especially in the shortest format, a news agency reported.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Also Read<\/span>&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/first-test-kiwis-post-71-1-at-lunch--19550\"><span style=\"color:#FF0000;\">1st Test: Kiwis post 71\/1 at lunch<\/span><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;A slower ball is not something you can just do, it calls for hard work and training, and it is something that I practice a lot,&quot; he said on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;There&#39;s the pace there, I can bowl up to 140 kmph. That&#39;s there already, that&#39;s an asset. Then in this cricket you need to have a lot of variations and I try my very best to have six different balls I can bowl in an over.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;That is something I really, really work on. It doesn&#39;t come natural, it&#39;s a lot of hard work.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Williams was not a part of the original squad for the series but was summoned after star all-rounder Andre Russell pulled out late.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The right-armer has played first class matches since his debut five years ago but has come to the fore in the T20 format where he was a regular performer for Jamaica Tallawahs in the last season&#39;s Caribbean Premier League.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s really fantastic to be called up for the West Indies team. It&#39;s something that every young man would dream about to play international cricket,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s certainly a pleasure, I&#39;m ready to go, hungry for it and determination is there. I&#39;m just ready to go out there and execute and perform and put my name out there in international cricket.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He continued: &quot;It was just hard work and determination that has taken me through. I went into playing for Jamaica Tallawahs knowing what I had to do to get here and I did just that. When I was given the chance to go out there and perform, I just performed.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;When you get an opportunity you just grab it with both hands and do what you&#39;re supposed to do and that&#39;s the reason I am here today.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
