The Joel Garners: West Indies bowler Kemar Roach believes “Test cricket” is still at the heart of West Indies despite the allure of T20 leagues and franchise cricket.

A seasoned cricketer with 267 wickets in 145 Test innings, Roach finds himself in the latter stages of his career, he remains committed to Test cricket, taking each day as it comes. Despite the allure of T20 leagues and franchise cricket, Roach asserted that Test cricket holds a special place in his heart. He reminisced about the legends of West Indian cricket and expressed his desire to be part of that revered tradition.

"I love Test cricket," Roach said to ESPNcricinfo. "Honestly, I love the red-ball format. I've played one-dayers and the T20 format as well but I think my heart was always a part of the red ball. I just wanted to be a part of those mega cricketers back in the day. The Joel Garners, the Malcolm Marshalls, Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh, I just want to be a part of those names.
