Brian Lara Stadium Hosts Maiden Test as West Indies Face Pakistan
Joshua Bishop joins Roston Chase’s West Indies squad as the hosts seek to open a two-Test series against Pakistan with a win.
- Cricket West Indies named its squad for the two-Test series against Pakistan, notably including 26-year-old left-arm spinner Joshua Bishop for his maiden Test call-up. The first Test begins tomorrow at Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad.
- Pakistan revamped its squad following a 2-0 series loss in Bangladesh two months ago, reappointing senior batter Babar Azam as captain in place of Shan Masood. The tourists hope to end a streak of seven consecutive away Test losses.
- West Indies Test captain Roston Chase enters the series following a dominant home victory against Sri Lanka three weeks ago, when the Caribbean team demolished the visitors by an innings and 217 runs. Chase missed the recent New Zealand ODI series due to injury.
- Star pacer Alzarri Joseph opted out of the series for personal reasons, leaving the Windies to rely on their established winning combination. Jomel Warrican may replace Anderson Phillip given the expected spin-friendly pitch conditions.
- Brian Lara Stadium, the 13th Test venue in the West Indies, hosts the opener amid potential weather risks. While Trinidad has enjoyed sunny conditions recently, significant rainfall typically characterizes the region during this July/August period.
