Captain Kraigg Brathwaite described the West Indies' first Test victory on Pakistani soil in thirty-four years as a "amazing" accomplishment for his side. He claimed that the victory demonstrated that his team could prevail under any circumstances as long as they had a clear strategy and self-belief.
Yes, it's a crucial victory for us. It simply demonstrates that, if we have faith and a strategy, we can do anything," Brathwaite remarked. "It's right up there with some amazing Test wins because coming here, you know, playing here in Pakistan, it's never easy to win a Test match." According to the West Indian captain, his batsmen had to have guts to score runs on a track where a ball that could take wickets was not far away, and they did so well. In contrast, the bowlers were told to bring the batsmen forward in order to take 20 wickets.
