Former skipper Jason Holder’s excuses - Barbados Today

GROS ISLET, St Lucia – Former captain Jason Holder has urged patience with West Indies’ “inexperienced” batting lineup in the wake of the heavy innings defeat against South Africa last weekend, arguing they needed time to adapt to different conditions and oppositions.The top-ranked Test all-rounder pointed out that while several of the newer players had excelled in recent series, South Africa presented a different type of challenge, to which they needed to adjust in order to excel.Further, Holder noted even though the experienced likes of Roston Chase, Shai Hope and Kieran Powell had returned to the side, they also required time to become re-integrated.
