West Indies Captain Chase Acknowledges Test Status Struggle Ahead of India Series

Ahmedabad: West Indies captain Roston Chase was born in March 1992. By that time, the West Indies were unbeaten in a Test series for 16 years, a run that lasted until the 1994-95 series against Australia.“Champion outfit,” “legends,” “greats,” were the words he would have grown up listening to as he took his first steps and heard stories about the aura surrounding West Indies cricket.The side he will be leading out on the park on Thursday is ranked eighth. He knows his side will be up against it.“Obviously we’re not in a good position right now in terms of our Test status, and we are kind of low on the WTC table, but we have to put that behind us,” Chase told the media on match-eve.“New Zealand came last year and dominated India, so we are really trying to learn from what they did. The analyst has sent the footage of the New Zealand series, and we really zoned in on the critical points that we want to focus on. I’ve played in India before, and I know that its spin-friendly conditions. Spinners may have to bowl more of the overs,” Chase specified.
