Let us tell you that fast bowler Kemar Roach, who was out of the Test team for about 6 months, has returned to this team. Roach played his last Test match for West Indies against Australia at the Gabba in January at the beginning of the year. So now he will be seen playing in a two-match Test series against South Africa on Caribbean soil from August 7. The command of the West Indies cricket team against South Africa has been handed over to Craig Brathwaite, while wicketkeeper Joshua de Silva has been appointed the vice-captain of the team for the first time. In this Test series, regular vice-captain of the Test team Alzari Joseph has been rested, who had an average performance in the three-match Test series on the recent tour of England.

The first Test match between the two teams will be played from 7 August to 11 August at Queen’s Park Oval Port of Spain, Trinidad, while the second Test match will be played from 15 August to 19 August at Providence Stadium, Guyana. 15-member Caribbean squad for the two-match Test series against South Africa: Craig Brathwaite (Captain), Joshua da Silva (Vice-Captain), Alick Athanase, Tevin Imlach, Michael Lewis, Casey Carty, Justin Greaves, Kavem Hodge, Jason Holder, Shamar Joseph, Gudakesh Moti, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales, Jomel Warrican, Brian Charles.
