Roston Chase named West Indies Test captain

ANTIGUA: Cricket West Indies (CWI) has named Roston Chase as their new Test team captain ahead of the series against Australia and India.

The decision came after Kraigg Brathwaite stepped down as national skipper. Brathwaite exited from the role after squaring off a series against Pakistan 1-1.

Kraigg Brathwaite’s captaincy era was notable for leading the young West Indies team and finding ways to win in different conditions with a growing pool of fast and spin bowlers.

His Notable performances included a 1-0 home series win over England in 2022, the Gabba Test win of January 2024, and a 1-1 draw in Pakistan in Brathwaite’s last series in charge, in January 2025.
