West Indies all-rounder Roston Chase is keen to lock horns once more with England fast bowler and fellow Barbadian Jofra Archer – five years on from a remarkable club game in Sussex.

That analysis was all the more eye-catching because he didn’t pick up another wicket in a series West Indies eventually won 2-1 to reclaim the Wisden Trophy.
