Former West Indies fastbowler, Michael Holding, has questioned
the logic behind the selection of 31 year-old Sherwin Campbell
ahead of 25 year-old Leon Garrick for the upcoming two-Test and
one-day series against Pakistan in Sharjah.
Holding said while he could "understand" the desire for an
"experienced" player to replace the injured Brian Lara and
Ramnaresh Sarwan, it seemed illogical to take Campbell since he was
unlikely to play ahead of openers, Chris Gayle and Daren Ganga.
