LON­DON – West In­dies cap­tain Ja­son Hold­er has re­tained his all-rounder top-rank­ing ahead of Thurs­day’s start of the two-Test se­ries against In­dia in An­tigua.

The 27-year-old Bar­ba­di­an topped the all-rounders’ charts in Tests back in Jan­u­ary fol­low­ing his stun­ning dou­ble hun­dred in the first Test against Eng­land at Bridgetown, that pro­pelled the home side to a mas­sive 381-run vic­to­ry.

Hold­er al­so picked up two wick­ets in that match, to move up two places to the top rung.

He will lead West In­dies in the open­ing Test at the Vi­vian Richards Crick­et Ground where he will look to fur­ther so­lid­i­fy his sta­tus in the rank­ings.

Pac­er Hold­er is al­so the high­est-ranked West In­di­an in the bowl­ing charts at num­ber eight hav­ing re­tained that spot, while fel­low Ke­mar Roach has al­so re­tained his 11th place rank­ing.

Speed­ster Shan­non Gabriel is the oth­er West In­dies bowler in the top 20 at num­ber 12.
