West Indies Test captain Jason Holder has been included in a 22-man Barbados Pride provisional squad announced Monday by the Barbados Cricket Association, in preparation for next month’s Regional Super50 Cup in Antigua.

The 29-year-old all-rounder was one one of ten players who last week declined selection for the Test and one-day tour of Bangladesh due to “COVID-19 related concerns or personal fears”.

Three other players – Shai Hope, Roston Chase and Shamarh Brooks – who opted out of the West Indies tour have also been named in the training unit.

Fast bowler Chemar Holder, who made his Test debut on last month’s tour of New Zealand, is among the contingent. He has been included in the 15-man one-day international (ODI) squad for the Bangladesh tour. (CMC)
