WICB - HOLDER HAS DOMESTIC OBLIGATIONS

KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – The West Indies Cricket Board says the reason it rejected Test captain Jason Holder’s application for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to play in the inaugural Pakistan Super League was because the player’s first priority needed to be the domestic competition.
The 24-year-old Holder, a rising star in the game, was last month drafted by franchise team Quetta Gladiators but confirmed recently he was forced to turn down the offer after not securing an NOC from the WICB.
However, newly appointed WICB marketing and communications manager, Carole Beckford, said West Indies “retained” players had an “obligation” to turn out in the regional tournaments.
