First home five-wicket haul for Warriacan fuels West Indies hopes

Jomel Warriacan achieved his first five‑wicket haul on home soil during the same spell that produced six wickets overall. The milestone was especially significant for him, as he had long dreamed of a five‑for at Queen’s Park Oval.

After watching old highlight clips of home‑ground successes, Warriacan said he always imagined seeing himself with five wickets in the dressing room. The reality of that vision materialising this match left him “overjoyed.”

The performance adds a boost to West Indies’ bowling options, giving the team a reliable spin threat as they chase a target in the final days of the Test.
