ST JOHN’S – Newly appointed Test captain Kraigg Brathwaite has praised the development of the side under Jason
Holder and says he anticipates a productive working relationship with the man he has replaced.
Brathwaite, 28, was announced last Thursday to lead West Indies in the two-Test series against Sri Lanka starting Sunday, ending Holder’s five-year tenure in charge.
“I have known Jason from age ten, so we go way back, and I don’t think anything is going to change. He has my full support and I have his full support, so we’re going to work as a team,’’ Brathwaite said while revealing he had a chat with Holder.
“I think this team can make West Indies fans proud, and Jason is a key member for us, so I really look forward to us going out there and making West Indies fans proud.”
He continued: “I thought Jason did a fantastic job in the last [six] years leading the team and, for me, it’s a privilege to take over from him.” (CMC)
