ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, Mar 31, CMC – The West Indies will have a new Test captain when it takes on Australia in the summer following the shock resignation of Kraigg Brathwaite on Monday.
According to a press release from Cricket West Indies (CWI), the 32-year-old Brathwaite, who served as Test captain for the past four years, had indicated his intention to step down earlier this year ahead of the completion of the West Indies’ tour of Pakistan.
His surprise resignation comes just one day before West Indies head coach Daren Sammy assumes responsibility for the Test team.
The West Indies will face Australia in the Caribbean in a three-match Test series beginning June 25.
