  1. ‘It was a shock, still lost for words’ - Jason Holder on being removed as Test captain West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder has said that he is trying to move on after he has lost Test captaincy earlier this year. While saying that there is going to be less pressure, he added that it's been a strange transition after captaining the side over the last 5 years as well. Image source by twitter Kraigg Brathwaite, who led the team in the series victory in Bangladesh earlier this year in the absence of several star players, had retained the captaincy in the Test series against Sri Lanka at home in March too. "For the last five-six years, I've been captaining West Indies, whether that be Test-match cricket or one-day cricket. So now being relieved of both captaincies, it has been a strange transition for me personally.," Holder told ESPNCricinfo."It was kind of a shock. Yeah, still lost for words in regards to that, but I am not dwelling on it. I don't think it's something I should dwell on, to be fair.” He continued: "I am just trying to find ways to move on and transition back to just being a regular player. For me now, it's about showing a bit more of my character, and being a lot more I would say outspoken. I am relatively outspoken, but just expressing myself a little bit more and having fun. I feel as though I have been really, really committed to West Indies cricket - I am still committed to West Indies cricket, but more or less for me now it's just about having fun and enjoying however many days I have playing international cricket." However, captaincy snub didn’t affect him as he did quite well with both the bat and the ball in the series against Sri Lanka. There he smashed 138 runs, which also included a half-century, and he also picked up 7 wickets in 2 Test matches that ended in a draw as well.
