Jason Holder admitted it has been difficult to adapt to a new role in the West Indies Test side after the captaincy was handed to Kraigg Brathwaite.
Holder opted not to tour Bangladesh in January due to the coronavirus pandemic, with Brathwaite filling in as captain.
Brathwaite subsequently retained the leadership role for the home series against Sri Lanka in March, and the batsman will again be captain for South Africa s tour of the Caribbean.
It was a decision that came as a surprise to Holder – who had been captain since 2015 – though the 29-year-old is now hoping he can use the opportunity to focus more on his own game.
