Opener Kraigg Brathwaite will lead the West Indies side in the
absence of suspended regular skipper Jason Holder in the third and final
Test against England, beginning February 9 at Beausejour Stadium in
Saint Lucia.
On Monday, Holder was suspended for one Test and fined 40 percent of his match fee by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for maintaining a slow over-rate during his side's 10-wicket win in the second match against England in Antigua.
Confirming the news of Braithwaite leading the side, Windies Chairman of Selectors Courtney Browne said, "With Jason Holder missing out on the last Test, Kraigg Brathwaite will take the reins of captaincy."
Brathwaite had earlier guided the side in two Tests against Bangladesh last year, when Holder was forced to miss the same due to injury
