After England announced their controversial decision to drop all-time leading wicket takers James Anderson and Stuart Broad for their tour of the West Indies, interim managing director Sir Andrew Strauss spoke of it being an opportunity for other experienced bowlers to take on a "senior leadership role".
As the most experienced of England's seamers, Chris Woakes was given the task of leading England's attack. However, the 33-year-old's struggles away from home - he averages more than 50 with the ball overseas - have continued in the Caribbean
Despite an impressive seven-over spell after lunch on day two of the third Test which saw him take 3-21, Woakes has managed just five wickets at 46.20 in the series so far. As a result, former England coach David Lloyd has suggested Woakes may never play another Test match away from home.
