Holder, Bravo return for Sri Lanka Test

West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder and batsman Darren Bravo are set to return to the squad for two Test matches at home against Sri Lanka, Cricket West Indies (CWI) said on Friday.

Both Holder and Bravo missed last month’s 2-0 series win in Bangladesh after they opted out of the tour due to health concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Holder, who had led West Indies in 37 tests, was earlier replaced by opener Kraigg Brathwaite as the test captain.

The opening Test will be played from March 21-25 followed by the second test from March 29-April 2. Both Tests will be played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua and Barbuda.

West Indies Squad: Kraigg Brathwaite (C), Jermaine Blackwood, Nkrumah Bonner, Darren Bravo, John Campbell, Rahkeem Cornwall, Joshua Da Silva, Shannon Gabriel, Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph, Kyle Mayers, Kemar Roach, Jomel Warrican
