West Indies captain Jason Holder has praised the focus and commitment of his embattled side following their crushing win over Pakistan in Barbados yesterday, and has urged them to maintain the intensity heading into next week’s decisive Test at Windsor Park in Dominica.
Entering the Kensington Oval contest on the back of a seven-wicket defeat in the opening Test at Sabina Park, Jamaica two weeks ago, West Indies turned the tables on Pakistan to level the three-match series with a 106-win on the final day.
“We had to win the game to keep the series alive. Everybody knew what was at stake and we wanted to win the game,” Holder told a media conference.
The victory was Holder’s second in 14 games as captain, following his success in the final game of the three-match series in Sharjah in United Arab Emirates last November.
