Jason Holder will not take part in the third match in the Kuhl Stylish Fans T20I Series powered by Black and White at the Guyana National Stadium on Tuesday. The tall allrounder picked up a slight niggle to the knee in the second T20I which was played on Sunday and has not been named in the starting XI as a precaution.
He will continue to be monitored by the West Indies medical team ahead of the final two matches, which are scheduled to be played at the Broward County Stadium in Florida on Saturday and Sunday.
Holder was Man-of-the-Match in the opening game at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy last Thursday when his heroics with the ball helped West Indies to a thrilling four-run win.
The West Indies entered the match with a 2-0 series lead. A victory in the third contest on Tuesday would give them an unassailable 3-0 lead. This would be the first T20I series win against India since 2017.
