DUBAI: The West Indies Test and One-day skipper Jason Holder has said they remain a powerful force despite the absence of some top players heading into the series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The West Indies are missing some of their big stars in the T20s and One-dayers, including explosive opener Chris Gayle and all-rounder Andre Russell, reports CMC.

Trinidad and Tobago left-handed batsman Evin Lewis was called up to replace Gayle at the last minute while Kesrick Williams, the fast bowler from St Vincent and the Grenadines, has replaced Russell.

“It’s obviously a big loss to lose certain players, but obviously, we have some very capable players in the dressing room to fill their boots,” said Holder here on Sunday.

“Evin Lewis was called up at the last minute to replace Chris Gayle. I don’t think we are short on personnel. It’s just a matter of everyone getting in and getting used to international circuit.
