5 reasons Jason Holder is the ideal leader for Windies despite criticism

#3. Holder's track record

Under Holder, West Indies have lost 11 Tests and have won only three. By all means, this is a poor record, but these numbers do not prove anything about Holder's captaincy.

The Windies skipper is leading a side which is hardly capable of surviving in international cricket. Hence, the onus of these failures does not lie on Holder's shoulders alone and he cannot be held responsible for the abysmal condition of West Indies cricket.

At times, Holder's decisions were poor and they made a negative impact on team's performances but these errors weren't decisive.

In fact, Holder has remained at the forefront in preventing the West Indies team from deteriorating even further. He has somehow kept a sinking ship alive.

What the numbers don't show is the work the Caribbean skipper is doing behind the stage to ensure his team stays focused amidst despair.
