Kraigg Brathwaite steps down as West Indies Test captain after three years | Cricket News

Kraigg Brathwaite has stepped down as West Indies’ Test captain after three years in the role.

The 32-year-old led West Indies in 39 Tests and guided them to their first Test victory in Australia for 27 years last year with a dramatic win in Brisbane.

His replacement is yet to be named for Australia’s upcoming three-Test tour of the Caribbean which takes place in June and July.

Brathwaite became Test captain in March 2021, taking over from Jason Holder, and also led the West Indies to a home Test series victory against England in 2022.
