Kraigg Brathwaite Reflects on Loss to South Africa

West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite expressed optimism about his team's young bowling and batting line-up despite a recent series loss to South Africa, marking their 10th consecutive defeat in series against them. The West Indies lost the second Test by 40 runs at Providence Stadium, after the first Test ended in a draw, concluding the two-match series. Brathwaite highlighted the promising performances of young bowlers Shamar Joseph and Jayden Seales, who both delivered standout performances, with Seales achieving career-best figures of 6-61. However, he acknowledged the batting unit's struggles, particularly in chasing a 263-run target, and emphasized the need for improved mental resilience and consistency. Looking ahead, Brathwaite remains hopeful about the team's future, especially with their fast-bowling unit, and is eager for more Test matches to foster development. The West Indies will face Bangladesh in a two-match series starting in November.
