Kraigg Brathwaite rejects second-string side label

John Campbell

Newly appointed captain of the West Indies Test side, Kraigg Brathwaite has rubbished the labeling of the team as a second-string side and in fact backs them to do well.

The Barbadian opener made the comments during a Zoom interview yesterday as they closed off their quarantine period in Bangladesh and began outdoor training for the two-Test series.

“First of all I think I have a good team here, a few guys have played a lot of cricket, some haven’t played in a little while but I know this team is fully capable of doing well at international level,” he said.
