West Indies captain Jason Holder has been suspended by the ICC for the third Test against England at St. Lucia for maintaining slow over-rate during the sensational win in Antigua.
According to a report in ESPNCricinfo on Sunday, Holder, who scored an unbeaten double century in the first Test at Barbados – only the third highest by a number eight in Test history, behind only the Pakistan duo of Wasim Akram (257 not out) and Imtiaz Ahmed (209) – will make way for vice-captain, Kraigg Brathwaite.
