"Having the trophy named after Sir Garfield Sobers is something truly special," Jason Holder said.
"He was one of the greatest to play the game and he still makes a major contribution to the game.
Only recently he joined us in Barbados and wished everyone the very best for this tour of Sri Lanka.

"It is always good to see him and interact with him :
and it would be great for us to take home the trophy with his name on it." 8)

I think Sobers would stand a better chance of winning this trophy with a team of former players from the 80s and 90s than this current young generation of players. 8)

Re: Should Holder captain all three formats - chairman - 10-07-2015
we need some test cricket
Re: Should Holder captain all three formats - boquiesse - 10-07-2015
The only thing that matters are the T20 world cups.
And these world cups include all full members plus a lot of associates.
So is not like WI have to qualify.
WI currently have players who are vastly more experienced than Holder in T20s so making him captain would not IMO be a good move.
However the WICB do as they please so it would not surprise me if a month before the world cup they make Kraigg Brathwaite T20 captain.
