Roston Chase Named West Indies Test Captain

Roston Chase has been appointed the new West Indies Test captain, succeeding Kraigg Brathwaite following his resignation in March 2025. The selection process featured psychometric testing, interviews, and a weighted evaluation of key leadership and cricketing attributes. Jomel Warrican was named vice-captain after both Chase and Warrican topped a shortlist that included John Campbell, Tevin Imlach, Joshua Da Silva, and Justin Greaves. ODI and T20I captain Shai Hope declined consideration to focus on white-ball formats. The decision was endorsed by head coach Daren Sammy and CWI President Dr. Kishore Shallow, who called the process a new benchmark for the board. Chase's first assignment as captain will be a three-Test home series against Australia starting June 25.
