Holder suspended from final West Indies v England Test for over-rate violation
West Indies captain Jason Holder has been suspended by the ICC from the final Test of his side’s series against England for an over-rate violation.
The suspension has been handed down for a second offence within a 12-month period; Holder was fined after his team were slow in completing their overs against Sri Lanka in Barbados in June 2018.
He has fallen foul of the same rule in the past, missing West Indies’ second Test in New Zealand in 2017, again after a second minor over-rate offence in a 12-month period.
West Indies have already claimed the series, leading 2-0 heading into the final Test, which will be held at Antigua.
