Manchester: West Indies all-rounder Roston Chase wants to be taken more seriously as a batsman and says personally it would be a big disappointment if he fails to score at least a century in the three-Test series against England, starting July 8 in Southampton.
The 28-year-old, who has scored 1,695 runs including five hundreds in 32 Tests, said he wants to be rated higher as a batsmen and was looking forward to pile up some runs in England.
“I’ve always wanted to score a century in England. I scored a century against England in the Caribbean, but I would love to get one in England,” he told media via video conference. “As I said, when you score hundreds in England, I think, as a batsman people take you more serious and rate you a bit higher.
I’m looking to have a good series with the bat, score as many runs as possible. I will not be happy if I don’t get at least one century.” While opening duo of Kraigg Brathwaite and Shai Hope will look to provide starts, Chase will have to share more responsibility in the middle order in the absence of Darren Bravo and Shimron Hetmyer, who had refused to tour England amid the COVID-19 pandemic due to family concerns.
