West Indies Playing 11 vs Australia- 2nd Test, Australia tour of West Indies 2025:
Openers: Kraigg Brathwaite, John Campbell
Former captain Kraigg Brathwaite and left-hander John Campbell will open the batting for the home side, West Indies, in the second Test match against Australia.
Campbell, who is making a comeback in the team after a long time, will look to make the most of the opportunity in the upcoming Test after failing to get a significant score in the first Test.
Campbell will have the company of Kraigg Brathwaite, who has been a constant part of the team for over a decade.
Brathwaite will have to take responsibility to negate the threat of the new ball being the senior-most player in the squad with the most amount of experience.
Both batters will look to get things right in the first innings itself to lay a platform for the incoming batters to capitalize on and guide the team to an above-par total.
It will be important for the duo to score big, given the performance of the team's middle order in the series opener, which didn't paint a good picture for the second Test.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Keacy Carty, Brandon King, Justin Greaves, Shai Hope (wk), Roston Chase (c)
The captain and the coach would expect the likes of Keacy Carty and Brandom King to score some runs, as the failure of the top four batters was one of the reasons for a disappointing performance by the West Indies.
The responsibility will also fall on the shoulders of experienced batters and captains of red and white ball cricket, respectively, Roston Chase and Shai Hope, to prolong their innings.
Fast bowling all-rounder Justin Greaves, who is filling the big shoes of Jason Holder, will look to get a big score after doing the job of restricting the runs from one end with the ball in the first Test.
Bowlers: Jomel Warrican, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Jayden Seales
Windies would once again rely heavily on their fast bowlers to do the job of picking wickets for the team with the new ball.
The trio of Shamar Joseph, Alzarri Joseph, and Jayden Seales would look to replicate the performance they delivered in the first game.
Shamar Joseph, in particular, was the pick of the bowlers with four wickets to his name in the first innings, followed by five wickets in the second innings.
Shamar was well supported by Alzarri Joseph and Jayden Seales, who picked up a five-for in the first innings.
As far as the West Indies' spin bowling department is concerned, it will be handled by captain Roston Chase and vice-captain Jomel Warrican.
