West Indies skipper Jason Holder has backed out-of-form Chris Gayle to regain form during their World Cup tie against Zimbabwe on Tuesday at Canberra.

The swashbuckling batsman scored an unimpressive 36 runs off 65 balls in the opening loss to Ireland and got out for mere four runs in Saturday's big win over Pakistan.

Backing Gayle to regain form, Holder said that Chris was awake, claiming that he was awake from the beginning of the tournament, Sport24 reported.

The right-arm medium fast bowler said that every time he sees Chris Gayle, he expect to see a positive Chris Gayle, adding that although he hadn't been getting runs, they still had a lot of confidence in him, who could take it as deep as possible for them.
