Chase said West Indies could have found a way to make room for an extra spinner - the uncapped Joshua Bishop was the other frontline option in their squad - though not at his own expense, given he was still able to contribute in his primary role. But I do think that we could have made room for an extra spinner, but it wouldn't have been [instead of] myself at all." Replying to West Indies' first-innings 344, Pakistan scored 266 for 2, at more than four runs an over, by stumps on day two. West Indies' next Test series, a two-match tour of Bangladesh in October-November, is their final assignment of the 2025-27 World Test Championship cycle. Given that Roach is 38 and only plays one format, it is unclear how long he will continue playing for West Indies, but Chase urged him to keep going.
