#5 Shai Hope is here to stay

After a long wait, West Indies have found a player who can stabilize the innings at No.3. Shai Hope showed his quality in the Tests against England, scoring a couple of match-winning hundreds, and followed it up with some good scores in the ODIs as well. His key strengths are his orthodox stroke-play and the ability to counter swing better than his teammates.

In a batting lineup filled with stroke-makers, Hope's presence adds solidity. He can play the long innings most of his teammates struggle to. His wicket-keeping abilities are an added bonus.
