West Indies cricket faces a significant challenge as the lack of quality first-class matches impacts its Test team's performance. Skipper Roston Chase calls for longer playing opportunities for Caribbean players to gain critical experience and improve their game.

Chase, a seasoned player with over 50 Tests under his belt, highlights the disparity in first-class match experience between West Indies players and those from countries like India, Australia, and England. While other nations' debutants often have substantial domestic play time, West Indies players enter international matches with far less experience.

In the aftermath of their 0-2 series loss to India, Chase commends the team's fightback in their last match and underscores the importance of teamwork and morale. He advocates for more organized training programs, particularly in playing spin, to develop the next generation of West Indies cricketers.
