West Indies captain Jason Holder has backed the returning Chris Gayle to make a big impact in the ODI series against England.
Today’s match at Old Trafford will be Gayle’s first ODI, since the 2015 World Cup, where he made the first double century in the competition’s history, smashing a blistering 215 against Zimbabwe in Canberra.
Holder welcomed his impending return to the ODI format.
“It’s obviously a huge boost. The calibre of player Chris is, you can expect really good things from him.”
“He showed some form in the T20 game and had some good form in our CPL recently. I am really looking forward to having him back. He seems up for the challenge, he seems upbeat and really happy to be back. I’m looking forward to good things from Chris” he added.
