LONDON – West Indies captain Jason Holder has urged his inexperienced side to make the most of the three tour games in the build-up to the opening Test of the three-match series against England later next month.

The tourists face Essex in a three-day contest starting today and will follow up with matches against Kent from August 6 to 8 in Canterbury and against Derbyshire from August 11 to 13.

The opening Test will be a day/night affair beginning August 17 at Edgbaston.

“I think it is extremely good that we have three games leading into the first Test match, all of them being three-day games and one being a day-nighter, so that’s more than enough preparation time to go into the first Test and into the Test series,” the all-rounder said. (CMC)
