HOLDER FOCUSED ON TEAM UNITY

Test captain Jason Holder says one of his main goals is to transform the West Indies into a tightly knit unit and believes this will be the catalyst for any turnaround in the struggling team›s fortunes. The Caribbean side has endured a torrid time in Test and One-Day International (ODI) cricket over the last decade and are currently ranked eighth and ninth respectively in the formats, reports CMC. Holder said with the West Indies bringing together players from several nations, the challenge was always to get them to play as a collective. «Cricket is played in the park so I always stress for guys to share as much information as possible, communicate with one another and make sure that whenever we step into the park, we step as 11 unified players,» Holder told CBC Radio›s cricket show here on Friday.
