Chase said his goal in CPL 2021 was to make the WC squad. He did make the squad but never cemented his place in the WI T20 team.

I believe he knows he cant make the WC squad again and therefore the motivation is not there.

I am actually surprised he can't even make the test team....didn't this chap make a test ton and too 5 wickets in an innings of that test?

Preparation and fitness is the key to success.
I heard Tom Brady speech afte the game, his age kept coming up from the reporter, he reminded her that his preparation have not stop, because of his age.

No amount of preparation can make me an NFL player any more than it can make Roston Chase an effective International cricketer at this stage of his career.

Some ofus know our limitations, we cannot then compare us to others, I played intramural at SAIT, was a good Wide Receiver.
Had I been playing that sport as a youth, only god know how far I would had gone.

Mikey's son was drafted #1 by the Eskimoes, the name has changes, you get a free 4 years ride, and ignored academic, his ankle was broken in his third season, took two years to rehab, was traded to the Lions after rehab, never recover.
I will share privately what happen and is happening to him .

there is nothing athletic about Chase, after little effort his mind is going to tell him that is enough, amazing to look at his effort on the field. Modern sport is like gladiator contest,you have to be so much more ready just to edge out the other guy.

Why the haste to write off Roston Chase? The guy just turned 30 earlier this year ...

Bro! I am not writing off the guy, all I am saying is he needs to address fitness and his energy level. Contrast him with Meyers.

At a philosophical level, one is unwilling to write off anybody, particularly at age 30 in sport and if their early record was good, however look at these numbers in International cricket from 2020 and his recent CPL performances

1.TEST CRICKET
11 matches,21 innings,314 runs,62 highest score,14.95 average

2. ODI CRICKET
8 matches,8 innings,1 not out,115 runs,41 highest score 16.43 average

3.T 20 CRICKET INTERNATIONAL
6 matches,5 innings, 64 runs,39 highest score, 12.80 average

4.CPL 2022
6 matches, 6 innings 52 runs,19 highest score,8.66 average

Noted. I was surprised a few years ago when Chase failed a fitness test.

In reply to Dukes
Those batting stats are abysmal, but he was also the top scorer in the CPL just last year. And IIRC his bowling has not fallen off as much as his batting. I'm not saying that he currently merits WI selection, but there is still hope for him in my book.
