Tue, Feb 9, '16

Bridgetown, Barbados, February 8 - (www.bcacricket.org) - For contrasting reasons, Jason Holder, the West Indies Test and One-Day International captain and fast bowling all-rounder and his Test team-mate, left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican, are out of the Barbados Pride 13-man squad named today for the crucial sixth round WICB PCL first-class match against Windward Islands Volcanoes at Kensington Oval, starting Friday, February 12.

The 24-year-old Holder, who complained of fatigue by some of his cohorts towards the end of the recent NAGICO Super50 Championship in Trinidad & Tobago following their return from a three-Test series in Australia, which West Indies lost 2-0, requested a break for "personal reasons", while Warrican is resting a worrying finger injury on his bowling arm, chairman of selectors Henderson Wallace revealed.

"Jason has asked for some extra time for personal reasons and Jomel is being given some more time to recover from soreness on the index finger of his bowling hand," Wallace told BCAcricket.org.
