The 33-year-old Chase replaces 32-year-old Kraigg Brathwaite, who resigned from the job in March after three years.
Chase will lead West Indies in three home Tests against Australia in June and July. The first Test in Bridgetown on Chase바카라s home island of Barbados will also be his 50th since his Test debut in 2016.
