ST JOHN’S – West Indies Cricket Board president Dave Cameron says the decision by the board to approve a recommendation for rookie fast bowler Jason Holder to be appointed new One-day captain was unanimous.

WICB selectors, chaired by Clive Lloyd, recommended the 23-year-old Barbados pacer as captain of the ODI squad ahead of the five-match series against South Africa and just two months before the ICC World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

Holder takes over the reins from seasoned all-rounder Dwayne Bravo who has been sacked after just 19 months in charge and also dropped from the 15-man squad named to face the South Africans.

“I don’t have anything to say. I think you should speak to the selectors,” said Cameron.
