Chase’s Recovery Progress Ahead of West Indies-Pakistan Test Clash

With the first Test scheduled for July 25 at Brian Lara Stadium, West Indies are monitoring captain Roston Chase’s rehabilitation closely. The right‑hand finger strain, sustained during the New Zealand ODI series, has been under physiotherapy supervision. Darren Sammy revealed that Chase completed a controlled workout session, indicating that the swelling is receding. "He wants to be on the field for the opening Test, and I trust our physio, Dr. Baym, to make that happen," the coach said. Chase’s presence would add depth to the middle order and provide a key spin‑bowling option for the series, which forms part of the ICC World Test Championship schedule.
