Captain Jason Holder to miss West Ind ies' final Test against England after ICC suspension

Captain Jason Holder to miss West Indies' final Test against England after ICC suspension. West Indies will miss their captain Jason Holder for their final Test against England after he was suspended by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for his side's slow over rate in the win in Antigua. The hosts claimed a 10-wicket victory in that match to seal the series win, with Holder claiming seven wickets in England's two innings, and contributing 22 runs.  The first Test in Barbados was an equally convincing triumph by 381 runs inside four days, with Holder scoring an unbeaten 202 with the bat and taking two wickets. Holder has been in fine form for both games, and is the leading run-scorer with 229 at an average of 114.50 as West Indies secured a first series win over England since 2009. This is the second time Holder has been banned for slow over rate, having faced similar punishment and missing the second Test against New Zealand in 2017.  Opening batsman and vice-captain Kraigg Brathwaite is most likely to step in as Holder's replacement for the match, which starts on Saturday in St Lucia.
