ST JOHN’S, An­tigua – Crick­et West In­dies (CWI) pres­i­dent Dr Kishore Shal­low has heaped prais­es on the West In­dies men’s team af­ter their his­toric vic­to­ry over Pak­istan in the sec­ond Test at Mul­tan on Mon­day.

The 120-run vic­to­ry at the Mul­tan Crick­et Sta­di­um marked the team’s first Test win on Pak­istan soil since 1990.

They were led by Play­er-of-the-Match and Play­er-of-the-Se­ries Jomel War­ri­can, who fin­ished with a record-equalling 19 wick­ets in the two-Test se­ries.

In hail­ing the mo­men­tous achieve­ment, Dr Shal­low said the vic­to­ry was a tes­ta­ment to the West In­dies’ “skills and fight­ing spir­it.”

“This vic­to­ry is a tes­ta­ment to the skills, de­ter­mi­na­tion, and fight­ing spir­it that de­fine West In­dies crick­et.

“I ex­tend my heart­felt con­grat­u­la­tions to the play­ers, coach­ing staff, and man­age­ment for this his­toric ac­com­plish­ment,” Dr Shal­low said in a state­ment is­sued on Mon­day.

“Spe­cial com­men­da­tion must go to Jomel War­ri­can for his ex­em­plary per­for­mance, which was piv­otal to this suc­cess. Cap­tain Kraigg Brath­waite’s as­tute and ag­gres­sive lead­er­ship sure­ly is wor­thy of recog­ni­tion.”

Dr Shal­low al­so used the op­por­tu­ni­ty to thank out­go­ing Test head coach An­dre Co­ley for his con­tri­bu­tion to West In­dies crick­et.

“An­dre Co­ley has played a sig­nif­i­cant role in West In­dies crick­et, and we are deeply grate­ful for his hard work, lead­er­ship, and the con­tri­bu­tions he has made as red ball head coach dur­ing his tenure,” Dr Shal­low said.
