All-rounder has achieved a lot since becoming West Indies’ youngest captain and believes he can deliver a unifying triumph
The quietest voices are often the most interesting and so when Jason Holder, the understated captain of the West Indies, talks about the World Cup it is significant that he considers the wider impact a successful tournament would have on the Caribbean.
The West Indies might be regarded as mavericks or outsiders but, before they won the 2016 T20 World Cup , they were dismissed by cruder clichés. They won that tournament with intelligence and style and Holder is hoping his team might replicate their victory in the 50-over format, which begins in London on Thursday.
