West Indies Test captain and ace all-rounder Jason Holder has said he might be leading the five-day team but doesn’t want to be “pigeonholed” in just one format, as he was keen on making name for himself in all the three formats of the game.
The 28-year-old, who is ranked number one in the Test all-rounders’ list for over a year now, was relieved from limited-overs captaincy last year but he doesn't want to be a one-format player, saying he wants to be a regular player for the Windies in all the three formats of the game.

Holder was quoted as saying by ‘windiescricket.com’: “I don’t want to just segregate myself and pigeon-hole myself to one particular format. Yes, I’m the captain for the Test team but as I’ve crossed formats for a number of years, I think my sole focus has been on West Indies cricket, ideally in all three formats not only in Test cricket.”
He further added, “I think West Indies cricket is so diverse in many different ways and for us as players, we’ve got to understand each and every one of us has a part to play in this whole puzzle,”

Meanwhile, the all-rounder, who has been the captain of the Test side for the last five years besides leading the side in 86 ODIs, admitted he loves captaincy duty.
Holder signed off by saying, “I love the leadership role; the leadership role for me is one where it makes me focus and drives me in a way where my performances definitely have to lead by example and I definitely have to practice what I preach,”
