Chase warns West Indies against complacency ahead of second Test
Roston Chase has urged West Indies to avoid complacency against Pakistan. Shan Masood is ruled out of the second Test.
West Indies captain Roston Chase has warned his team against complacency in home conditions during the ongoing series against Pakistan. He stressed the importance of making it difficult for visiting teams in the Caribbean, rather than assuming conditions alone will carry them.
The second Test begins at Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad. West Indies won the first match by 90 runs, but Chase's public caution suggests he sees mindset as the bigger threat now.
Pakistan captain Shan Masood has been ruled out of the second Test with a finger injury sustained in the first game, leaving the visitors without their skipper as they hunt for a comeback.

When a captain warns against complacency this early after a win at home, he's usually signalling something internal — a dressing room he doesn't quite trust to stay sharp. Chase knows the Caribbean has a history of gifting series away.
