Here is what is concerning about Roston Chase, the Test captain has seen in 2025 and it’s something that does NOT inspire confidence at all:

He had 9 single digit scores from 16 Test innings on the whole

Though he began 2025 on a solid note of 44 and that too, at the Kensington Oval against Australia, he quite simply failed to deliver from the middle order, which is such a critical position especially in red-ball cricket.

The same batter who struck multiple tons and that too in 2016-17 season agains the visiting Pakistan side, the very series whose headlining acts were Misbah-Younis’ retirement, would end up scoring

His Test results with the bat in NZ during the 3 Tests read more like a graveyard operating with banking codes or OTP numbers than those that merit an experienced Cricketer representing an identity called West Indies cricket that needs no introduction.

They read- 0 and 4 (Hagley Oval), 29 and 2 (Basin Reserve) and 2 and 5 (Bay Oval).

So there you go- 0, 4, 29, 2, 2 and 5. Press these numbers and you have earned an entry into a graveyard where you see promise, experience and potential turning into a burial site.

Whether the committed West Indies cricketer takes these failures into consideration and turns notable miss outs into potentially game changing numbers for a team that deserves no less is something for he and his coaches and experts to think of. The fan, on his part, is already dejected.
