Kraigg Brathwaite advocates for the West Indies to participate in more Test cricket matches as they aim to level the series against England.
After suffering a heavy defeat by England in the first Test at Lord’s, the West Indies are looking to bounce back in the remaining matches. Despite this, the financial gap between the two teams is evident, with England being part of the 'Big Three' in cricket alongside India and Australia.
England's busy schedule of Test matches contrasts with the West Indies' limited fixtures, which presents a challenge for them to gain experience and improve their performance in the format.
Brathwaite expressed his desire for more Test matches for the West Indies, emphasising that playing more games will lead to quicker learning and improvement for the team.
As they prepare for the second Test at Trent Bridge, the West Indies captain highlighted the importance of batting better to compete effectively in the series. He acknowledged the need for significant improvement in their batting performance after a disappointing showing in the first Test.
Brathwaite stressed the importance of putting runs on the board and leading by example in order to make a comeback in the series. Despite the challenges they face, he remains hopeful that the team will continue to learn and grow as they strive for success in Test cricket.
