For more than a decade, one of cricket’s most consistent forces has been showing up on the biggest stages. But it’s what happens beyond the boundary that reveals the full story, a deep connection to Barbados, the friendships that kept him grounded, the weight of early leadership, and the calm he’s found far from the spotlight.
In this episode of Game On with Grace, I sit down with former West Indies captain and world-class all-rounder Jason Holder for a real conversation about the ups, downs, and everything in between. We get into the pressure of taking over the national team at 23, how losing the captaincy hit him harder than expected, and what it showed him about loyalty and character, both on and off the field. He also shares his thoughts on honesty in sport, leadership dynamics, and why some lessons only come when the spotlight dims.
This one’s full of perspective, grit, and the kind of conversation that reminds you sport is only part of the story.
