West Indies captain Jason Holder will miss the final Test against England after being banned by the International Cricket Council.<\/p>\n
The all-rounder, 27, will serve a one-match suspension for his side’s slow over-rate in the 10-wicket win in the second Test in Antigua.<\/p>\n
The third Test in St Lucia starts on Saturday, with West Indies 2-0 up in the series.<\/p>\n
Holder is the leading run-scorer with 229 at an average of 114.50.<\/p>\n
He has been a central figure in West Indies securing a first series win over England since 2009, and their first over any side other than Bangladesh and Zimbabwe since 2012.<\/p>\n
Holder was named man of the match after making an unbeaten 202 and taking two wickets in the 381-run win in the first Test, a performance which took him to the top of the ICC rankings for Test all-rounders.<\/p>\n
Holder claimed 4-32 to help bowl England out for 132 in Antigua on Saturday before West Indies sealed victory with two days to spare.<\/p>\n
He missed the second Test in New Zealand in December 2017 after being banned for a slow over-rate offence.<\/p>\n

There will be people who look at this and say it’s petty, that it’s a great shame that Jason Holder can’t arrive in St Lucia with his team 2-0 up and try and beat England again.<\/p>\n
But the fact is the West Indies over-rate in the Antigua Test match was very slow indeed.<\/p>\n
If they let Holder off this time and set some sort of precedent, what happens the next time the ICC tries to punish a captain?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
