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”.
“While it is unfortunate to lose a player of Jason’s caliber, we are confident in the abilities of Obed McCoy. Obed has shown remarkable skill and promise in his performances, and this opportunity will allow him to further showcase his talent on the international stage,” he added.
“Our reserve players are all A-class talents who have proven their abilities in various formats of the game, but certainly T20. Each one of them is fully capable of slotting into the team seamlessly should the situation arise,” said head coach Daren Sammy.
The T20 showpiece will be co-hosted by the Caribbean nations and the USA.
