|April 01, 2025
ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA: Kraigg Brathwaite quit as West Indies Test captain on Monday after four years in charge while ODI skipper Shai Hope was named the 38th captain of the ISO-year-old team, officials said.
-
The steady opener, who also reaches shy of reaching the 100-Test mark, led the team to a Test series victory in Australia in 27 years with an eight-run win in Brisbane last year.
Earlier this season, he was in charge when the West Indies won a Test match in Pakistan for the first time in nearly 35 years.
A dogged and disciplined opening batsman, Brathwaite has accumulated 5,935 runs in Tests with 13 centuries and 31 fifties but at an average of just over 33.
He is also renowned for feats of patience, batting for the best part of 16 hours over two innings to secure a draw with England at Barbados in 2022.
