Delhi: The name of experienced all-rounder Roston Chase was missing from the West Indies playing eleven in the match against Zimbabwe in the Super-8 stage, but indications from the team management indicate that he may return in the important match against India. Captain Shai Hope avoided giving a direct answer on the team combination and only said that everything will become clear when the right time comes.

Chase is known as a reliable off-spinner and his role can be decisive against India. In recent matches, it has been seen that the Indian team has been struggling against off-spin in the initial overs. In such a situation, giving rest to Chase against Zimbabwe is being considered a strategic decision, so that he can be kept ready for the big match against India.

Chase’s performance so far in the World Cup has been balanced. He played useful innings with the bat and also took wickets with the ball. His presence in a possible quarterfinal match against India could give additional balance to the West Indies.

West Indies did not miss Chase in the match against Zimbabwe as other spinners performed brilliantly, but the team management can adopt the strategy of keeping the experienced options hidden in front of a strong opponent like India.
