West Indies Captain Jason Holder has labelled the upcoming England Test tour as a “big series” and says he hopes his side can replicate the fight they showed on their fierce rivals' last tour of the Caribbean four years ago when they drew the three-match series.
England touched down here on Friday for the three-Test rubber which bowls off at Kensington Oval on January 23. Ironically, the last time the two teams met at the venue in the final Test of the 2015 tour, the Windies pulled off a stunning five-wicket victory inside three days to force a 1-1 series stalemate.
“An England series is a big series in the context of West Indies cricket,” Holder told reporters here Friday.
“The last time they were here it was a pretty well-fought series. [We] came out with a draw in the end and there were big crowds, massive support both from England and the Caribbean, so I expect something similar this year and hopefully we can lift the trophy.”
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

What has Shamar Brooks done in the almost 12 years of playing first class cricket? I’m not even going to try and comprehend the John Campbell selection. I don’t believe Alzarri Joseph should be playing ahead of Keemo Paul. Erratic lines and lengths that only test incompetent Windies FC players will not cut it against England. While Paul does go for runs he almost always challenges batsmen with movement and wicket taking lines.
