Kraigg Brathwaite has stepped down as skipper of the West Indies Test team after four years in charge, Cricket West Indies (CWI) said on Monday after a shift in leadership roles saw Shai Hope taking over captaincy of the T20I side. Brathwaite, 32, was appointed as West Indies’ Test captain in place of Jason Holder in March 2021. Hope, who is also the team’s ODI skipper, replaced Rovman Powell for T20I captaincy. Powell has led the T20 side since May 2023. Story continues below this ad In a statement, CWI said, “Brathwaite wanted to ensure the team had a period of transition before his departure. As a result, he has submitted his resignation ahead of the home series against Australia, giving the new leadership time to establish itself. “This series will be particularly special, allowing Brathwaite, who is two matches shy of 100 Test matches, to double down on his batting without added responsibility.” A new Test captain will be announced shortly.

Dec 02, 2024 04:34 AM IST Brathwaite guides Windies’ early response to Bangladesh in 2nd Test West Indies’ second-wicket pair of Kraigg Brathwaite and Keacy Carty safely negotiated a tricky final period to take their team to 70-1 in reply to Bangladesh’s first-innings total of 164 at stumps on the second day of the second and final Test at Sabina Park on Sunday. Brathwaite guides Windies’ early response to Bangladesh in 2nd Test In desperate need of runs after a lean spell throughout much of 2024, captain Brathwaite was at his most phlegmatic in grinding out an unbeaten 33 off 115 balls. Relative newcomer Carty was equally watchful for his 19 not out off 60 balls, the pair coming together in a stand so far worth 45 runs after the raw pace of Nahid Rana accounted for Brathwaite’s opening partner Mikyle Louis . Rana’s wholehearted effort was some consolation for the tourists after the West Indies fast bowlers exploited the many deficiencies to consistent pace and bounce of the Bangladesh batting line-up. This was particularly …

These muscles big enough for him? Kraigg Brathwaite slams Rodney Hogg for calling West Indies cricket team ‘pathetic’ and ‘hopeless’ | Cricket News

Kraigg Brathwaite slammed former Australia pacer Rodney Hogg by calling West Indies cricket team “pathetic” and questioning their intent after their 10-wicket loss in the first Test. Shamar Joseph’s heroics helped West Indies beat Australia by eight runs at Gabba. Joseph picked 7 for 68, and helped West Indies register their first Test victory in Australia soil in 27 years. “Let’s not beat around the bush: They were hopeless (in Adelaide),” Hogg told 10 News last week. “We should have two divisions now. We can’t have these weak sides coming out here. “Mitchell Starc with a brand new pink ball, he’s going to run straight through them (at the Gabba). So I wouldn’t think the game would go any further than three days. They’re pathetic. “Mr Rodney Hogg said we were pathetic and hopeless. So that was our inspiration, we wanted to show the world we are not pathetic. “And I must ask him, are these muscles big enough for him?” – Kraigg Brathwaite #AUSvWI pic.twitter.com/Js2Eo7kqSD — 7Cricket (@7Cricket) January 28, 2024 “I look back …
