He has already traveled to the United Arab Emirates as a travel booker and is eligible for the next West Indies match against Bangladesh on Friday (October 29).
“Jason Holder has been in the UAE for a while now and will fit quite well into the team unit,” Roger Harper, CWI’s lead men’s selector said. “He is an experienced and knowledgeable cricketer who we know will be eager and excited to grab the opportunity.
“McCoy did really well in the T20Is earlier this year and adapted well in the opening match against England. He was a key member of the bowling unit. And it’s unfortunate he won’t be able to take any further part in the tournament. We wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him back. On the field ready to go again in the near future.”
