Jason Holder misses out as West Indies name Test squad for Bangladesh series
West Indies have named their squad for the upcoming two-match home Test series against Bangladesh, but the team will be without the services of all-rounder Jason Holder. Holder, who has been a key figure for the West Indies, is currently undergoing rehabilitation for a shoulder injury and will miss the series as he continues his recovery.
The absence of Holder is a significant blow to the West Indies, as the all-rounder brings enormous experience to the team. The two-match series is part of the World Test Championship. Kraigg Brathwaite will be leading the side in the presence of experienced and young talents. Offspinner Kevin Sinclair has made his return to the side after recovering from an injury due to which he missed West Indies' last Test series against South Africa at home in August.
The two-match series will begin on November 22. As of now, Bangladesh and West Indies are 8th and 9th on the WTC standings respectively.
West Indies Squad: Kraigg Brathwaite (c), Joshua Da Silva (vc), Alick Athanaze, Keacy Carty, Justin Greaves, Kavem Hodge, Tevin Imlach, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Mikyle Louis, Anderson Phillip, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales, Kevin Sinclair, Jomel Warrican
