West Indies cricket captain Roston Chase hurt his finger and missed some recent games.

The team's coach, Daren Sammy, thinks Chase will be ready for the first Test match against Pakistan.

This match is important because it's part of a big tournament called the World Test Championship.

Both teams want to do well because they are currently not in the top positions.

The first match will be at a new place called the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, and the second match will be in Trinidad and Tobago.

Chase is important because he is a good bowler and the team's leader.

Quotes

Daren Sammy

West Indies head coach

“I spoke to Roston earlier today. He came to do his workout. Still a little bit puffy. But Roston is a fighter. I know he's not going to want to miss any Test cricket. I'm pretty sure Dr Byam (team physio Denis Byam) has a way of keeping guys on the park, so I'm pretty sure Roston will be ready for the first Test”
