Why Roston Chase is a promising all-rounder

#1. Significant career improvement

Test cricket is cruel. The same formula of success doesn't produce the desired results every time. Innovation and adaptability allow players to stand at the top for a long duration. Consistent improvement is the characteristic of a quality Test cricketer.

Chase has done the same in his Test career so far. When he arrived in international cricket, his bowling although effective was immature. But with time, he has developed more venom in his off-breaks and has plans for every batsman.

In his last three Tests, he has grabbed 12 wickets at a rate of a wicket every 55.5 balls and 32.66 runs per wicket. These figures are much better than his career statistics. His career bowling average is 47.75 and strike rate is 86.5.

In batting too he has honed his skills. In the second innings against England in the Headingley Test, he batted for 58 balls and scored 30 crucial runs which brought West Indies closer to a historic chase.

He arrived at the crease when Kraigg Brathwaite's wicket had given England an opening. Chase with his firm batting kept the hosts at the bay for 16 overs and pushed them out of the game.

These improved skills have made Chase an ideal all-rounder who can be banked upon for rescuing the team in all condition.
