“That man there, Jason Holder, I’m trying to get him in, but that’s not possible as yet.”
Daren Sammy speaking to Nikhil Uttamchandani at the conclusion of the successful T20 series win vs Sri Lanka.
Fresh from the announcement of the latest West Indies Test squad to play Sri Lanka in a two-match series, Jason Holder’s absence stands out.
Holder hasn’t played a Test match since the home match against South Africa in August 2024.
