Kraigg Brathwaite Steps Down As Windies Test Captain, Shai Hope Given White-ball Charge
ICC World Test Championship: Cricket West Indies (CWI) announced that Kraigg Brathwaite has stepped down as Test captain and his successor will be named in the coming weeks. While Shai Hope has been named as the side's white ball captain.
The upcoming home series will mark the start of the new ICC World Test Championship cycle with Test matches against Australia while the tour to England and Ireland will see a new T20 captain settle into the role ahead of the campaign for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka.
"Brathwaite first indicated his intention to do so to CWI leadership earlier this year ahead of the completion of the West Indies’ successful tour of Pakistan. Understanding the importance of continuity, Brathwaite wanted to ensure the team had a period of transition before his departure. As a result, he has submitted his resignation ahead of the home series against Australia, giving the new leadership time to establish itself. This series will be particularly special, allowing Brathwaite, who is two matches shy of 100 Test matches, to double down on his batting without added responsibility," CWI said in a release on Tuesday.
