A decision will be made tomorrow morning, as to whether West Indies captain Jason Holder will take the field against South Africa in the final preliminary round match of the Ballr Tri-series at Kensington Oval later in the day.

The 24-year-old fast bowler sent down only two overs in Tuesday’s six-wicket loss to Australia before he was forced from the field with a left-hamstring strain.

He was expected to undergo scans on the injury on Wednesday but instead will now receive treatment and be monitored ahead of the upcoming game.
His absence forced the West Indies to use occasional legspinner Andre Fletcher and stand-in captain Kieron Pollard as part of the bowling effort.
