West Indies all-rounder Darren Sammy has backed skipper Jason Holder, asking him to seek divine intervention after his team was crushed by minnows Ireland by four wickets in their World Cup opener in Nelson.
Sammy, who smacked 89 runs off 67 deliveries during the match, said that he would say to Jason to stay strong, and pray to the man above as he controls all things, News.com.au reported.
Reflecting on team's performance, the all-rounder further said that though Jason has his support and the entire team wanted to see him do well, adding that they would be on a plane back to the Caribbean if they continue like that.
West Indies will next meet Pakistan on Saturday at Hagley Oval.
