Kraigg Brathwaite has stepped down as West Indies’ Test captain after three years in the role.
The 32-year-old led West Indies in 39 Tests and guided them to their first Test victory in Australia for 27 years last year with a dramatic win in Brisbane.
His replacement is yet to be named for Australia’s upcoming three-Test tour of the Caribbean which takes place in June and July.
Brathwaite became Test captain in March 2021, taking over from Jason Holder, and also led the West Indies to a home Test series victory against England in 2022.
Wicketkeeper batter Shai Hope will be replacing Rovman Powell as the T20 captain alongside his role as the one-day international skipper.
Hope, 31, will take charge during West Indies’ multi white-ball tour of England and Ireland later this summer, live on Sky Sports Cricket, in June.
Watch England’s home summer live on Sky Sports, starting with the four-day Test against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge in Nottingham from May 22. Stream cricket and more with NOW.

Draymond Green seals Warriors’ Game 4 win with another play to remember him by
SAN FRANCISCO — Draymond Green was stunned and stoked, simultaneously.He didn’t expect to be isolated at the free-throw line, on an island with the outcome of Game 4 to be determined by his resistance. Houston’s strategy for a game-winning bucket, its last stand to even this Western Conference first-round series, couldn’t be to go at him. HIM? No way. He isn’t that lucky.AdvertisementBut with 13.4 seconds remaining Monday, the Rockets inbounded the ball to Alperen Şengün and, as the clock ticked under 10 seconds, he went for it. Şengün sized up Green and went iso.The Golden State Warriors’ defensive anchor couldn’t believe it. He also couldn’t wait.If confidence was measured on a scale to 100, Golden State’s level of belief is all the way up if the game comes down to Green making a play on defense.“I feel like 100,” […]

Geoff Schwartz FOX Sports Betting Analyst <!--> Now that the 2025 NFL Draft has wrapped up, and all 257 players have been selected, it’s time to look ahead to the time when the players actually take the field.With that being said, let’s take a look at three bets I like for the upcoming NFL season.Los Angeles Rams to win NFC WestIn Sean McVay’s eight seasons as head coach of the Rams, he has led the team to four division titles, including two out of three seasons with a healthy Matt Stafford at quarterback. The 2024 season was supposed to be a reset for the Rams, as they got younger on defense and did some offensive line shuffling. Instead of losing while being young, the Rams ended up winning the division and, in driving snow, were a play away from taking […]
