Forty years since West Indies last lifted the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup trophy, in 1979, current captain Jason Holder is confident that his team can repeat history.

"I'm very optimistic," Holder told Sportsmail. "I think we've got what it takes to win the World Cup. It's just a matter of the [kind of] cricket we play. We've potentially got match-winners on any given day and we can beat any side in the world.

"We're confident that once we formulate our plans and execute them, we'll be up there lifting that trophy at the very end."

Windies last played a multi-format series against England, whom they beat 2-1 in the Tests. It was Windies' first series win against England in the long format in 10 years. Holder, who was adjudged Player of the Match for his career-best 202* in front of his home crowd in Barbados, had a big part to play in it himself.

The limited-overs leg was more of a mixed bag, with Windies drawing the five-match one-day international series 2-2, but conceding the Twenty20 Internationals that followed by a 3-0 margin. However, Holder felt that holding the No.1 side in the MRF Tyres ICC ODI Team Rankings to a stalemate would hold Windies in good stead.
