However, Former Indian cricketer Ajit Agarkar believes West Indies should start all-rounder Jason Holder against Bangladesh on Friday in their T20 World Cup match. The former captain, according to the 43-year-old, may provide the X-factor that West Indies lacked in their opening two games.
Holder was promoted to the main squad in place of injured left-arm seamer Obed McCoy, who had been a member of the travel reserves. On October 27, the ICC accepted the addition of the all-rounder.
Jason Holder can bring consistency to the West Indian team, which is currently at the bottom of the Group 1 points table. Holder, according to Agarkar, can replace Ravi Rampaul, who has struggled thus far.
“West Indies should play Jason Holder right away. Because when you look at their batting, despite having strong names, they are underperforming hugely. The holder can replace Ravi Rampaul,” Agarkar said.
“Another problem West Indies are facing is that they are lacking an X-factor in their bowling department. At least Jason brings you that consistency. He’s a stable batter as well, who will definitely help his side.” he added
Holder, who has 199 caps for the West Indies, including 27 in the T20I format, had a good season with Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2021.
Roston Chase
Roston Chase, according to Ajit Agarkar, should be included in the reigning champions’ lineup. The off-spinning all-rounder, according to Agarkar, might play a vital part in West Indies’ batting lineup.
Nicholas Pooran’s poor batting form was also a source of disappointment for Agarkar. Pooran’s terrible form in the T20 World Cup has continued after a mediocre IPL season. In two games, the left-hander has only managed to score 13 goals for his team.
