Injured Jason Holder replaced by Obed McCoy in West Indies squad for T20 World Cup

The West Indies on Sunday named Obed McCoy as Jason Holder's replacement for the upcoming T20 World Cup, with the latter being ruled out due to an injury which he sustained while playing the County Championship.

Without providing specific details of the injuries to Holder, the Cricket West Indies said in a release that the player will require a recovery period and the team's medical staff will provide all support "to ensure his swift and complete recovery". "Jason is an experienced player in our set-up. His absence will undoubtedly be felt both on and off the field.

We look forward to having a fully fit Jason with us again soon," lead selector and former player Desmond Haynes was quoted as saying in the CWI release.
