Chase has 49 appearances in the longest format and averages just a shade more than 26 with bat, including five centuries and 11 fifties, while he has taken 85 wickets with four five-wicket hauls bowling his off-spin.

His first assignment as captain will be the three-match Test series at home against Australia, which begins on his home ground in Bridgetown on 25 June.
