CAS­TRIES, Saint Lu­cia – De­spite hav­ing not played a Test match for the West In­dies in over three years, vet­er­an crick­et com­men­ta­tor Joseph ‘Reds’ Per­reira be­lieves that ODI and T20 cap­tain Shai Hope is the best man to cap­tain the Test team.

Per­reira, who has been com­men­tat­ing for over five decades, said with Daren Sam­my ap­point­ed as all-for­mat head coach, it would make sense for Crick­et West In­dies (CWI) to fol­low the same route with the cap­tain­cy.

For­mer cap­tain Kraigg Brath­waite stepped down from the role of Test cap­tain last week, with CWI yet to name his re­place­ment.
