Jason Holder Player Profile

Jason Holder is a tall fast bowling allrounder from Barbados. He stands six feet seven inches and bowls right arm medium fast. Holder became the captain of the West Indies ODI team when he was only 23 years old. Many people doubted if he was ready for the job, but he proved them wrong with strong performances.
