You have spoken for me as well. The fact that Josh who has captained regionally and internationally and was actually vice captain was not even named vice captain and Imlach who has 2 regional titles was also passed over in favour of 2 men, one of whom has at best been a stand in captain and the other nothing at all says is echoing around the Caribbean. Anyway, we rallying around Chase whom I rate as one of more talented players in the region and I really hope that Josh and Imlach's batting for the season is enough that they at least get a look in on the team.

He led TT very well in this FC season. This was their best outing for several years and only the brain fade against JA may have cost them the title.

That means Motie is finished is a Test cricketer….they won’t play 3 spinners ….SAD!! Another WI cricketer forced to seek T20 employment overseas…just like another Guyanese!!

Better believe that and let it sink in. Motie will play whiteball cricket only for the foreseeable future.

Chase is confirmed as the new captain.

Warrican is confirmed as the new vice captain.

I did not expect either of those to be named but good luck going forwards gents!

We?

Partner nobody in their righted mind should be rallying around that crap... a dude who wasn't anywhere close to the test team in the past 3-4 years is now the captain because he and the coach are friends and you want us to rally around that crap?

These idiots continue to fcuk down the little that's left of WI cricket.

Yup, that was a seismic shift. Hope this don’t backfire spectacularly.

Josh coming off a very successful regional season with the bat and will probably be relegated to the A- team if he lucky.

To accommodate Chase, someone more deserving will sit, Jangoo for eg played the single test and that maybe it for him for now.

West Indies cricket is not for the faint of heart, how could selectors continue to ignore a player with a 30.0 test average, yet appoint another with 26.7 for captain?? It doesn’t take much brain matter as to understand why we continue to struggle in ICC rankings.

Guys like Kevlon will most likely find it hard to now make the XI too.. because the new specialist cappo gotta play.

Most likely XI

1. Deadweight Kraigg
2. Campbell
3. Hodge
4. Jangoo/Athanaze
5. Specialist cappo
6. Silva/Imlach
7. Greaves
8. Alzarri/Shamar
9. Washed up Roach
10. Warrican
11. Seales

That’s pretty much the 14 players, may I add Shai Hope, don’t rule out his return to the fold, they may even make him Keep and remove Imlach and Dasilva from the fray.

Congrats Sammy, and CWI, for selecting Ruston Chase, as Test captain. Any 15 men squad, from today players, can fit in white ball cricket, which bodes well for future tours.
