Former England batsman Roland Butcher does not believe West Indies Test cricket captain Jason Holder should be recalled to the T20 squad, despite several recent creditable performances in the format.

The all-rounder last represented the regional team in the shortest format of the game in India last year.  Since the resumption of cricket, however, the player has put in a few notable T20 performances.  In the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), Holder was the Barbados Tridents' third-highest scorer with 192 runs in 10 matches and had a high score of 69.  He also made an impact with the ball after claiming 10 wickets, the second-most on the team.

“I think Jason, based on his performance in the CPL, could have come in for some consideration, but again, I wouldn’t want to burden Jason, with all the different disciplines he has to play already,” Butcher told the Mason and Guest radio program.

who was talking about recalling holder to the t20 squad. Holder is a test bowler.......a very good test bowler but he's a line, length and movement sort of guy. He's not the type to bowl 4 out of 6 balls in the block hole

Aren't many bowlers who can do that but I get your point. He's doing well in the IPL but we have similar bowlers in the T20 so nothing wrong with him just playing the longer formats.

BS.

Is why people want to curtail de man's means of livelihood. Surely he is a better all round pick dan de Notebook man

Jason says burden my pocket please!

He can play only if he is captain?

exactly.....line and length bowlers get creamed in the t20 leagues.....slow worn out pitches have evened the contest out. Usually in india they get hammered. I would not want holder to be permanently damaged by a beating so the the excellent test match bowler is affected. WI bowling finally looking good and that has to be protected
