Holder wants consistency

PORT OF SPAIN – Captain Jason Holder has called for more consistency from his batting group as the West Indies get ready to face India in a five-match one-day series starting here next week.

The Caribbean side struggled throughout the recent three-match rubber against minnows Afghanistan, losing the first game and winning the second, before the series decider was abandoned due to heavy rain in St Lucia.

Not a single Windies batsman managed a half-century in the series, with Shai Hope getting a best of 48 not out in the second game, and Holder said this was an area that needed to be addressed.

“We are still looking for a bit more consistency, not only from him (Hope) but the entire group. I think one of our biggest things is to build partnerships. We have to find ways to build parnerships against quality bowling attacks,” he pointed out. (CMC)
