West Indies skipper Jason Holder said that he is optimistic and believes that his team possess all the qualities to win the World Cup. West Indies last clinched the title back in 1979 and the current skipper is confident that he and the team can repeat history.
Speaking to Sportsmail, Holder said, “I’m very optimistic, I think we’ve got what it takes to win the World Cup. It’s just a matter of the [kind of] cricket we play. We’ve potentially got match-winners on any given day and we can beat any side in the world.”
“We’re confident that once we formulate our plans and execute them, we’ll be up there lifting that trophy at the very end,” he added.
The Caribbean side are high on confidence after securing a 2-1 win in the three-match Test series against England and went on to play a 2-2 draw against the same opponent in the 50-over format.
