Quote: [size=1.35em]According to a WICB release,the recommendation to replace Bravo with Holder had been made by the Clive Lloyd-led selection panel and was approved by the board of directors.

Lloyd said Holder's appointment had been made with an eye on the future. [/size][size=1.35em] Holder, 23, made his ODI debut against Australia in February 2013 and has played 21 games, taking 29 wickets with his fast bowling at an average of 28.65. [/size][size=1.35em] "Jason is one of the good, young players who we believe will form part of the long-term future of West Indies Cricket," Lloyd said.

"We expect him to be around for a very long time. He is a young man with a very bright future. We have invested in him. He was part of the High Performance Centre and he also played for the West Indies Under-19 Team and the West Indies A Team. [/size][size=1.35em] "He has played ODIs for the West Indies before and has done well. We know he will continue to grow and demonstrate leadership. He has a very good cricketing brain and has the makings of a very good leader.

[/size][size=1.35em]"The selectors decided that now is the time to make the transition and Jason will have people around him to help and guide him. Some might say it's close to the time of next year's ICC Cricket World Cup in Australia and New Zealand but we know that we have a good one-day team which can do very well." [/size]
