West Indies Cricket Head Coach Daren Sammy has stunned fans and cricket experts alike with a bold announcement: top-order batsman Kraigg Brathwaite will be appointed as the new Test captain for the West Indies. This move comes after a period of transition in the team, with Sammy emphasizing experience, stability, and defensive mastery at the top of the order.

Brathwaite, renowned for his rock-solid technique and calm presence at the crease, has long been a backbone of West Indies’ Test batting lineup. His appointment signals a strategic shift towards consistency and resilience in the red-ball format, especially as the team looks to rebuild confidence against top international sides.

Fans have taken to social media, praising Sammy’s decision as “perfect timing” and highlighting Brathwaite’s leadership qualities both on and off the field. Former players have also expressed optimism, noting that his experience and temperament make him ideally suited to guide a young and evolving squad.

Sammy, in a press briefing, stated: “Kraigg has been a pillar for this team for years. His discipline, technique, and understanding of the game make him the right choice to lead West Indies cricket into a new era. We are excited about the journey ahead.”

The cricket community now waits in anticipation for Brathwaite’s first series as captain, with expectations high for a resurgence in West Indies’ Test performance.
