WEST INDIES star Jason Holder believes Brendon McCullum has separated England from the rest of the cricketing world.McCullum (below), who will take charge of England's white-ball set-up in January, has revolutionised England's Test team, even if results have not always been positive.The 'Bazball' philosophy has brought its fair share of critics, but it is clear to see the enjoyment from players working under McCullum and Test captain Ben Stokes.And Holder expects England's ethos to carry over when the New Zealander takes the reins in limitedovers cricket."Brendon McCullum has done an outstanding job," Holder said. "The beautiful thing about his tenure is the buy-in he's had from the players. That's what's made their cricket so entertaining and so exciting."You have too many limiting factors within certain teams and within certain cultures and you need a limitless environment where guys can express themselves freely and know they'll be backed and picked for the next game."If you give guys that freedom and that confidence, the sky's the limit."Once you pigeonhole a guy and you restrict them, that survival instinct comes in. They wonder whether to express themselves or look for a score. That's where England are separating themselves from the rest of the world.<img src="https://cdn.magzter.com/1583503328/1730250948/articles/KKwK-GdMu1730264130532/1727717631.jpg" alt="image">"They've been able to give guys the opportunity and players have been able to express themselves and know they'll be backed." England travel to the Caribbean for three ODIS and five T20Is in their final white-ball series before McCullum takes over.Just days after a Test series defeat in Pakistan, where the batters struggled, a fresh-looking England side takes to the field in Antigua tomorrow.There are four potential debutants in the Three Lions squad, including Michael Pepper and John Turner, while Liam Livingstone captains in the absence of the injured Jos Buttler.Jofra Archer (below) is also in the squad, having featured against Australia last month and Holder (above) expects England's players to come out swinging."These series are always interesting as you see players knuckling down and trying to grab every single opportunity," Holder added.<img src="https://cdn.magzter.com/1583503328/1730250948/articles/KKwK-GdMu1730264130532/2175770313.jpg" alt="image">"You never know how many opportunities you'll get in these situations, so you really want to make it count."It's a great chance for Jofra to get some cricket under his belt.He can gradually build up his workload and get back into the swing of international cricket." It is not just England coming off the back of a 2-1 defeat.West Indies were beaten in a weatheraffected ODI series in Sri Lanka recently, failing to reach 200 in any innings."We need to work on how we're going to play those middle overs," Holder said. "We go 0 to 100, there's nowhere in between in knocking it around. If we ch દ can get some tempo going in the middle, our back- half stuff has always been pretty good."Our openers are pretty explosive, but our weakness is how we've faltered off between overs 11 to 40."If we can start knocking it around more or find a couple more boundaries, that eases the pressure."
