India batsman Suryakumar Yadav (above) has welcomed the switch from New York to the traditional pitches of Barbados ahead of their opening match in the Super Eight part of the T20 Cricket World Cup against Afghanistan today.

The move to Barbados takes the Indians on to the more traditional cricket territory of the West Indies.
