Holder and Joseph are set to play pivotal parts in the forthcoming season. Holder and Joseph’s early comeback will be critical in fortifying the West Indies squad and showing their abilities in a tight battle.
The pair has been one of the West Indies’ few bright spots in an otherwise terrible World Cup Qualifiers. Joseph, 26, leads the squad in wicket-taking with eight in five games, while former captain Jason Holder has been outstanding with both bat and ball. In five games, the all-rounder has averaged 36 with the bat and taken six wickets.
“We need to band together as a region,” says Jason Holder.

The two-time world champions were eliminated from qualification for the showpiece tournament later this year after losing three successive games against Zimbabwe, the Netherlands, and Scotland.
