Welcome to the big time, Jason Omar Holder. Goodbye to the captaincy and a spot on the West Indies One-Day team, Dwayne John Bravo.

The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) yesterday completed a shake-up for its shorter versions of the game, announcing that 23-year-old Barbadian all-rounder Holder had been elevated to the captain’s position, taking over from Bravo, while selecting Kieron Pollard and Darren Sammy for the Twenty20 side only.

Bravo, the captain who led the team when it controversially pulled out of an Indian tour in October, is out of the squad altogether.

The WICB thanked Bravo, 31, for his service as ODI captain.
