West Indies clinch Test series victory against Bangladesh

West Indies captain Roston Chase has praised his team's progress following a 1-0 Test series victory against Bangladesh. The win, secured after a draw in the second Test in Dhaka, marks the first time since 1994 that the West Indies have completed a calendar year without losing a Test series.

Chase credited deputy Jomel Warrican as a decisive factor in the triumph. Warrican was named Player-of-the-Series after claiming 16 wickets across the two matches, including nine wickets in the opening Test that saw the West Indies win by eight wickets. Chase noted that Warrican's ability to control his economy rate and apply consistent pressure was a hallmark of the series.

With this result, the West Indies have moved up to sixth in the ICC Test rankings. Chase expressed optimism regarding the team's trajectory for the 2027-2029 World Test Championship cycle, noting that the team successfully met their goal of competing strongly against opponents closer to their skill level in the rankings.
