How come no one picking team for the 3rd test
How come no one picking team for the 3rd test
Tue, Dec 16, '25 at 4:30 PM
1) T.Chanderpaul (if fit, otherwise J.Campbell)
2) B.King
3) K.Hodge
4) S.Hope
5) J.Greaves
6) R.Chase (c)
7) T.Imlach (w)
8 ) K.Roach
9) J.Warrican
10) J.Seales
11) O.Shields / A.Phillip
In June & July, the West Indies will host two tests against Sri Lanka & Pakistan. Before those series, changes need to be made. Chase needs relieving of the captaincy as he does not merit a place in the test side. The options for replacement are limited, to say the least. Long term, the test side needs to be improved, obviously. For that to work, immediate decisions need to be made regarding the following:
1) An overhaul of the domestic season, including an annual Headley-Weekes schedule
2) Enhanced A team calendar
3) Significant improvement of the regional surfaces - must be of paramount focus
So many talented teenagers and young cricketers are being wasted due to the alarming gap between the regional level and the test arena.

@WI_cricfan
It doesn't matter who we pick, the side is losing the third Test.
That said, the only way Athanaze plays ahead of Chanderpaul if the latter is unfit.
Assuming everyone is fit:
Campbell
Chanderpaul
King
Hope
Chase or Hodge
Greaves
Imlach
Roach
Philip
Seales
Shields
I can't see NZ conditions favouring Warrican.

@mikesiva
Chase is the Captain and will play. Sammy, like Trump likes to double down on bad choices, its a pity that Hodge who really looks good will have to sit.

Looks like Ojay Shields is out injured and they are bringing back Athanaze.

I would make only change and thst depends on if chanderpaul is fully fit then you can put king, hodge, athanaze name in a hat and pick one i see no diference in any one of them
