Warrican reflects on ‘unreal’ 100-wicket milestone

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) — West Indies spinner Jomel Warrican has described reaching the milestone of 100 Test wickets as an “unreal” achievement, one that he hopes will cement the legacy of spin bowling in the Caribbean.

Warrican reached the landmark during the recent Test series against Bangladesh, a campaign in which he was named Player of the Series after claiming 16 wickets across the two matches.

“It still feels unreal, like something you dream of as a spinner playing international cricket for the West Indies,” Warrican said in a recent interview. “You know you have a legacy of pacers, so to achieve 100 Test wickets, I think, as a spinner, is a great achievement personally and also just for spinners in the Caribbean, knowing that there’s a place for us in West Indies cricket.”
