Price revealed that they have higher expectations and objectives that the team needs to accomplish despite Jamaica losing a historic campaign in France in the year 2019.
According to Edwards, Jamaica should work on its training and preparations in order to perform better than their last campaign three years ago. This he claims was the reason the Jamaicans were knocked out at the early stages of the tournament.
