Brathwaite has been a mainstay in the West Indies’ red-ball setup since he made his Test debut back in 2011 and skipper Roston Chase paid tribute to the longevity of the 32-year-old.
“It’s an amazing feat, he’s the third Bajan player to do it so that’s tremendous in itself,” Chase said.
“The last guy to do it (for West Indies) was Chris Gayle in 2014, so it says a lot for Kraigg.
“He’s a modern-day legend and someone I look up to – I’ve played with him from under-11s.
“He stated before starting his career that he wanted to play 100 Tests so that’s an amazing achievement that someone can set a goal from so early and achieve it after so many years.”
