New Zealand vs West Indies 2017: 5 WI players to watch out for in the Test series

#3 Kraigg Brathwaite

Braithwaite has been inconsistent this year.

Kraigg Brathwaite is currently one of the few classical and typical Test match players going around in world cricket. He has established himself as one of the best batsmen in the West Indies line-up over the last 2-3 years.

Even though Brathwaite hasn’t been at his best in 2017, he still remains the key player for the visitors. In 2017, he has only 3 substantial scores – 134, 95 (both at Headingley) and 86 (at Harare). Thus, he will be eager to set the record straight.

But he has played a key role in all 3 victories that Windies have managed this year. Against Pakistan, he scored an important 43 in the second innings at Bridgetown. And the above-mentioned scores (134, 95 and 86) came in Windies’ victory against England and Zimbabwe respectively.

Thus, the Barbados opener’s contribution is vital and hence, he is one of the players to watch out for.
