West Indies captain Jason Holder has been named in the ICC’s test team of the year for 2018. The notable cricket website has listed the Windies skipper as the best all-rounder for the year. Holder took 33 scalps at an average of 12.39. In 2018, Holder also recorded his best match figures by taking 11 scalps for 103 runs against Bangladesh in Jamaica.

“I just believe I was more so a lot more patient than before. I was able to settle down a lot more when I was bowling and try to be a lot more patient than I was in the past. One of the things that I really focused on was consistency,” Holder told Barbados Today.

“I always had the skill to move the ball both ways in and out. In my view, one of my downfalls as a bowler was that I experimented a bit too early and too much. Last year, I was more patient, therefore I began stringing together a lot more spells consistently and performing my role as a bowler more effectively,” he added.

“I have always been regarded as the workhorse in the team who can come on and bowl long spells. The only way a bowler can bowl long spells is to keep his economy rate down and be tidy and pick up wickets along the way. I was successful in doing so last year.”

Jamaica Tallawahs
Jamaica may very well not have a team to support when the Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) begins this year.

According to CEO of the Jamaica Tallawahs, Jeff Miller, time is running out on his organization to confirm where they will be playing in the CPL and as of today, have a month to make a decision.

From where the CEO sits, he has been getting the run around from the Jamaican Government with nothing concrete in the way of financial support forthcoming.

The problem, Miller explains, is that it costs approximately US$2.5 million to operate a season, and the Jamaican government has not provided the kind of financial support that would make it feasible to continue.

Last year the Tallawahs organization lost US$1.8 million and lost 1.5 the year before that.

In the Caribbean money is always the issue. It is the main issue why the WI is at the bottom of the world standings
