HEADLINE: Jason Holder: I want to leave West Indies cricket in a better place

On a night when he surpassed former West Indies superstar Dwayne Bravo as the regional team’s leading wicket-taker in the Twenty/20 format, the team’s former skipper Jason Holder said his job in West Indies colours is far from finished.

With the ball, the lanky Holder had magical figures of four for 19 to help restrict Pakistan to 133 for nine in the second match of the three-match T20 series at the Central Broward Regional Park in Lauderhill, Florida, on August 2.

In the process, the 33-year-old Holder got to 81 T20 wickets in 74 matches for the Windies – bypassing Bravo, who claimed 78 wickets in 91 matches.

Holder, whose stint as West Indies captain spanned from 2014-2021, was delighted to play a part in ending the team’s losing run and vowed to do much more for the Men in Maroon.

“I love playing for West Indies, to be honest. One of my things is to leave West Indies cricket better than I came and found it.

“We haven’t done justice to our potential over the last couple of weeks and maybe the last couple of years. We’ve had a fair bit of criticism which at times is warranted, but we know within that we could be a lot better,” he said.

Holder means wellbut knows he's talking nonsense. He debuted in 2011 and experienced periods where we drew with NZ, beat Eng...don't see that happening any time soon. Eenie meanie, monies, mo Sammy just guessing stuff. Note that he sent for Mayers who should have played even vs. OZ. Only after learning Mayers had no US visa he sent for Athanaze.

people does rell love west indies cricket when the IPL gigs dry up boy wayz. And people does want to call gayle bravo Russel and co mercenaries eh. This is not the same dude who declined selection for the Australia tour of 2024/25 because he wanted to pla in the ILT20 in UAE? Not the same dude who went to play in the County Championship on the eve of the World Cup last year, got injured and was subsequently absent for said world cup where his experience and skills would have been invaluable? gimme a break...holder and sammy have the same tendencies for selfishness, just holder actually had talent to play cricket, sammy's talent is clapping.

a more truthful headline would be with the removal of "in a better place"

Holder is not in Sammy's plan. Holder should be playing all formats
