Roston Chase
Another Barbados youngster like Hope, 24-year-old Roston Chase has also been racking up the runs in West Indies domestic cricket’s recent past. Chase has a total of 1672 runs from 29 Tests at an average of 42.9, having garnered the reputation of being one of the best middle order batsmen in the country.
Not only is his batting average one of the highest in the country, he scores runs very consistently. His highest score may only be 136, but he gets to fifties at great frequency. In the 2015/16 domestic season, he scored six half-centuries, the highest in the league.
Chase could not score much in the warm-up match against India, holing out to Amit Mishra for 3, but will be looking to make up in the second match, and perhaps earns a first Test cap.
