18th September (CRICKETNMORE) - West Indies Test and ODI skipper Jason Holder looks confident of teams performance ahead of Pakistan series in UAE. He says the regional team remains a powerful force despite the absence of some top players heading into the series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
“It’s obviously a big loss to lose certain players, but obviously, we have some very capable players in the dressing room to fill their boots,” said Holder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
West Indies are missing some of their big stars in the T20s and ODIs including explosive opener Chris Gayle and all-rounder Andre Russell.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Evin Lewis was called up at the last minute to replace Chris Gayle while Kesrick Williams, the fast bowler from St.Vincent and the Grenadines, has replaced Russell.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
“Evin Lewis was called up at the last minute to replace Chris Gayle, and we saw what he did (100 against India at Lauderhill). I don’t think we are short on personnel. It’s just a matter of everyone getting in and getting used to international circuit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
