In a distressing setback for West Indies ahead of the start of T20I World Cup 2024, injured Jason Holder has been ruled out of the tournament. Left-arm pacer Obed McCoy has been named as the replacement for Jason Holder. 

Jason Holder sustained an injury during the County Championship where he was playing for Worcestershire. West Indies chief selector Desmond Haynes expressed his anguish by saying that Jason’s absence will serve as a big blow. 

"Jason is an experienced player in our set-up. His absence will undoubtedly be felt both on and off the field. We look forward to having a fully fit Jason with us again soon,” he said.

"While it is unfortunate to lose a player of Jason's calibre, 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. We believe he will bring a fresh and dynamic energy to the squad."
