The West Indies are on the verge of ending a 32-year wait to win a Test series on English soil, and captain Jason Holder is urging his players not to become complacent ahead of the second Test starting today at Emirates, Old Trafford in Manchester, England.

The West Indies lead 1-0 in the historic biosecure “Raise The Bat” three-match rubber and victory at Old Trafford would extend their hold on the Wisden Trophy they won last year in the Caribbean.

Describing last week’s four-wicket win over England as history, the skipper said it’s still anybody’s series to win and the team must not rest on their laurels.

“The series is still wide open. There are ten days of cricket left. It is one day at a time for us,” he said. (AGB)
