AHMEDABAD, India — West Indies Test Captain Roston Chase has pointed to financial constraints and subpar playing conditions in the Caribbean as key factors behind the team’s recent dismal performances on the cricket field. His remarks came after a crushing defeat by an innings and 140 runs to India in the opening Test match, which concluded within three days on Saturday. This loss marks the team’s fifth Test defeat in six matches this year and their fourth consecutive Test loss within three days, dating back to their home series against Australia in July.
