Why Roston Chase is a promising all-rounder

#3. Physical and mental fitness

The role of an all-rounder in Test cricket is a tedious job. It requires fitness of highest standards as the all-rounder is expected to deliver in both departments. In this regard, Chase has ticked all boxes.

His physical fitness is ideal for an all-rounder. The 25-year-old is one of the fittest Caribbean cricketers and takes serious efforts to keep himself fit for the longest format of the game.

At the same time, he is mentally strong and has high levels of concentration. Bowling for longer duration doesn't affect his batting and he is able to keep himself focused without getting exhausted.

In the third Test against Pakistan in 2017 at Roseau, Chase bowled for 32 overs and then batted for 228 minutes in the first innings. He cameback in the second innings and spent more than six hours at the crease, scoring a Test hundred and pushing the game till the penultimate over.

This sensational batting and bowling performances indicate that Chase is capable of pushing his physical as well as mental limits to any extent.
