Holder hopes for swift Simmons resolution

West Indies captain Jason Holder said that the fate of suspended head coach Phil Simmons lay "with Phil and the board" but added that he had been a "wonderful inspiration" during his brief time in charge.

Holder hoped for a swift resolution that would allow Simmons to return to the squad in Sri Lanka after his position was put in limbo when he expressed discontent over West Indies' ODI squad for the tour.

Simmons has since apologised for his remarks, but has been asked to answer for "breaches of confidentiality" by the WICB and is currently awaiting at HR hearing.
