KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (CMC):

West Indies head coach Bennett King says his current ICC Champions Trophy preparation is focused on the team's batting that flopped in two games and buckled in others during the recent DLF Cup Tri-Series tournament in Malaysia.

West Indies scored a win each against Australia and India en route to the DLF final, which they lost badly to the Aussies by 127 runs - after tumbling to a flimsy total of 113 all out.

"At the camp we've obviously been concentrating a lot on our batting," King said as the West Indies team remained in Malaysia for a one-week preparatory camp before they travel to India for the ICC Champions Trophy.

"Because of the tournament here in Malaysia, we need to spend more time on the part of the game that we were weakest and that's the batting," King told WindiesCricket.com prior to the final training session at the Kinrara Academy Oval yesterday.

"Today's (Friday's) session is about game simulation and putting the players under different match conditions," King said.

The Windies, the reigning ICC Champions Trophy title-holders, are scheduled to travel to India today to begin their qualifying round against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.

But as they head to the Champions Trophy qualifiers, King is particularly pleased with the fitness level of the players.

"Our fitness is very good at the moment, the physical side of the boys is quite strong going into the tournament," said King.

This is highlighted by the fact that all the players either met or surpassed their individual goals for the beep test (specialised fitness rating routine), with fast bowler Jerome Taylor being particularly impressive.

While fast bowler Corey Collymore, who only played one game in the DLF Cup due to a muscle injury in his right thigh, is not yet back to full fitness, King was pleased that he is making steady progress.

"Corey is improving everyday and we have no doubt that he will be firing on all cylinders," King said.
