Up-and-coming West Indies paceman, Chemar Holder, is enjoying the comfort of having experienced fast bowlers at his disposal ahead of a potential Test debut.
Holder, 22 could possibly make his debut in the longest format against England in the three-Test series beginning next Wednesday. Ahead of the series, Holder engaged the media via a virtual press conference yesterday to give an insight of his exposure at this level.
According to the Barbadian speedster, who represented the West Indies at the Under-19 level and on a handful of A-team tours, “It’s actually a big transition coming from youth cricket coming up but I had a few experience for senior level like A team and President’s XI from when I was younger like 17-18 [years] and I’ve also gotten a lot of information and guidance from Kemar Roach coming up playing for my franchise team back home Barbados [Pride], so I know if anything happens during these Test matches that I could easily go to Shannon [Gabriel] or Kemar or Jason [Holder] and they will assist me with anything I need.”
