West Indies Test captain Jason Holder says he intends to place a heavy emphasis on standards and believes this will be key to getting the best out of the regional squad.

Speaking in Barbados during his first official media conference, the 23-year-old said he had already discussed this area with head coach Phil Simmons and hoped this would mark a departure from the past.

West Indies have struggled on and off the field in recent years, and have plummeted in the International Cricket Council rankings in both the Test and One-Day formats.

They lie eighth in the Test rankings and ninth in ODIs, and are now set to miss out on the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy.
