    "editor1": "<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Centurion (South Africa), Dec 21 (IANS\/CMC)&nbsp;Newly appointed One-Day International (ODI) captain Jason Holder is convinced he will have the full support of the West Indies squad, despite his relative inexperience at the highest level.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe 23-year-old was announced Saturday to lead the ODI side after Dwayne Bravo was sacked following 19 months in charge, reports CMC.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHolder, however, has played just a single Test and 21 ODIs since making his international debut last year February but believes the side will rally together under his leadership.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;The support is key at this present time, me being a young leader in this (format of the game). I have good support staff around in terms of the management team and the senior players who I get along well with so it is just about me trying to gel everybody together and trying to move in the right direction,&quot; Holder said.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I just want to take it step by step. My first assignment will be the series against South Africa and I think it is key that we built some momentum going into the World Cup but I really don&rsquo;t want to look to far down the road, to be honest.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;My biggest task at the moment is to build trust, build a relationship with my players and try to get the best out of them in situations in games.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHe added: &quot;I obviously look up to a lot of the senior players in the squad. My role has primarily shifted a little bit now in terms of leading and guiding these guys. It is something I am up for and I think I will be supported well by the senior guys because I have a pretty good relationship with them.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHolder is the third ODI captain named within two years after all-rounder Darren Sammy was axed last year May and replaced by Bravo. Selectors have also excluded Bravo from the 15-man squad named to face South Africa in a five-match series next month here.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHolder said following behind Bravo would be a challenging task but stressed he was ready to help the West Indies restore their image in world cricket.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I am obviously very happy to be appointed in this post. It is something I&rsquo;ve looked forward to from the time I was a youngster and now being able to take up the mantle after Dwayne Bravo is big boots to fill but I&rsquo;ll just be trying to move the team forward,&quot; Holder said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
