ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Opener John Campbell turned the page on a low-scoring tour of Bangladesh when he carved out an attractive hundred to take centre stage on the opening day of the West Indies four-day warm-up match on Monday.
The left-hander, who is yet to really flourish since making his Test debut two years ago, and whose place seemed under threat, top-scored with 129 as the Roston Chase XI finished on 280 for seven at Coolidge Cricket Ground.
Chase chipped in with 75 but no other batsmen got among the runs, even though Test batsman Jermaine Blackwood was unbeaten on 18 at the close.

ST. JOHN’S – Seasoned opener Kraigg Brathwaite wants the same spirit that fuelled the recent Test series victory in Bangladesh to be a part of the preparation for the upcoming two-Test series against Sri Lanka.
Brathwaite served as stand-in captain for the series after regular skipper Jason Holder opted out of the tour and drew widespread praise for his handling of an under-strength side on the Tour.

Christopher Henry ‘Universe Boss’ Gayle, born 21 October 1979, contrived to pass a fitness test that Shimron Hetmyer, born 26 December 1997, failed as did Barbadian all-rounder Roston Chase, 27, and Jamaican pacers Oshane Thomas, 23, and Sheldon Cottrell, 31.
All four of those who failed have been active in the 2021 Super50 Cup competition which ended in Antigua this weekend.
