'Thankful And Honoured': Brathwaite Reflects On Journey To 100 Tests

By IANS News July 03, 2025 • 17:42 PM View: 558

Kraig Brathwaite: Kraigg Brathwaite is on the brink of a major career milestone as he prepares to play his 100th Test match for West Indies when they face Australia in the second Test of the series in Grenada starting on Thursday.

The 32-year-old opener will become only the 10th player to achieve this feat for the West Indies, joining the likes of Viv Richards, Clive Lloyd, Brian Lara, and Gordon Greenidge.

Brathwaite, who has led the West Indies in 39 Tests, made his debut as a teenager against Pakistan in 2011. Since then, he has scored 5,943 runs at an average of 32.93. For Brathwaite, this landmark is not just a number, but the fulfilment of a long-held dream.
