Shai Hope has been tipped for "a tremendous future in Test cricket" despite being dropped from the West Indies Test squad for the tour of New Zealand.
Hope, now aged 26 and a veteran of 34 Tests, has long been viewed as one of the most talented batsmen in the Caribbean. But despite performing well in ODI cricket - he is currently placed at No. 12 in the ICC's batting rankings in the format and was at No. 4 midway through 2019 - he has endured a grim run of form in Test cricket. He has averaged 19.48 since December 2017 and just 14.45 since February 2019. His career average in Test cricket has slipped to 26.27. As a result, he has been omitted from the touring squad and will instead work on his game in Barbados.
