BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, May 16, CMC – Cricket West Indies (CWI) has named veteran Barbadian all-rounder Roston Chase as their new West Indies Test captain, while his countryman Jomel Warrican will serve as vice-captain.
The eagerly anticipated announcement was made on Friday, following a meeting at Kensington Oval where the 33-year-old Chase was unanimously approved by the CWI Board of Directors.
Chase beat out five other candidates for the job: John Campbell, Tevin Imlach, Joshua Da Silva, Justin Greaves, and Warrican, which was left vacant following former captain Kraigg Brathwaite’s surprising resignation earlier this year.
The middle order batsman and off spinner has played 49 Test matches since making his debut against India in 2016, scoring 2265 runs at an average of 26.33, inclusive of five centuries and 11 half centuries.
