All-rounder Jason Holder is back in the West Indies’ ODI team for the three-match series against India starting on July 22. Holder didn’t play in the recent series against Bangladesh in Guyana, which West Indies lost 3-0. He was given a break.

Anderson Phillip and Romario Shepherd were cut after going wicketless against Bangladesh. Shepherd played all three games while Phillip played just one.

“As we all know, Jason is one of the leading all-round cricketers in the world and we’re happy to have him back in the team,” West Indies’ chief selector Desmond Haynes said. “He will be refreshed, re-energized and ready to go and we can expect to see his brilliance on the field as well as meaningful contributions off the field as well.

“We had a very challenging three matches against Bangladesh in Guyana so we will be looking to rebound when we face India in the conditions in Trinidad. We have seen some growth among some players, but overall we need to regroup and play better against the Indians.”

West Indies have won four of 15 ODIs this year. Three of those victories came against Netherlands, and they’re presently on a six-game losing run.

India won the ODI series 2-1 in England, but will be missing Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, and Rishabh Pant.

Shikhar Dhawan will skipper India in three ODIs in Trinidad on July 22, 24 and 27.
