The Kraigg Brathwaite record as West Indian Testing Patron
Brathwaite, who has directed the western Indies in 39 test games since 2017, officially resigned from his position ahead of the next house series against Australia. His tenure saw notable achievements, including team leadership in his first victory in Australia in 27 years in Gabba in January 2024. Under his captaincy, the Western Indies also won a historic victory against Pakistan earlier this year, marking their first Pakistani floor victory since 1990. Despite these hits, the Global Record of Brathwaite has Victories and 22 losses.
The 32-year-old man expressed a desire for continuity and a good transition to the team, which influenced his decision to leave more than later.
Although a successor to Brathwaite has not yet been announced, it is expected that this new captain will direct the team to the next cycle of the ICC World Test Championship (2025-27), from a series of three games against Australia this summer.
