West Indies National Cricket Team have been hit by a massive disaster. T20I skipper Rovman Powell has been sacked while Test skipper Kraigg Brathwaite has decided to step down from his role after four years in charge.
ODI captain Shai Hope will be leading the West Indies National Cricket Team in the T20Is, taking over from Rovman Powell. The latter took charge of the team in May 2023, and under him, the team did some incredible things and beat some big teams.
Under Rovman Powell, the West Indies beat India, England, and South Africa. They also reached the Super 8 stage of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. During his tenure, the team also went on to become the fifth-ranked team in the ICC Rankings in the T20I format.
On the other hand, Kraigg Brathwaite decided to step down ahead of the new cycle of the ICC World Test Championship. The right-hander informed about his decision to the CWI after the Pakistan tour as he wants a smooth transition to happen in the format.
Kraigg Brathwaite had a great time as the captain of the Test team. Under him, West Indies registered the first Test victory in Australia in 27 years as they beat the opposition by 8 runs in Brisbane in 2024. They also recently drew the series in Pakistan.
