Holder suspended for St Lucia Test after second minor over-rate offence

Windies were ruled to be two overs short of their target after time allowances were taken into consideration during the Test against England in Antigua

Windies captain Jason Holder has been suspended for one Test and fined 40 per cent of his match fee, while his players have been fined 20 per cent of their match fees, for maintaining a slow over-rate during the second Test in Antigua that ended on Saturday.

Jeff Crowe of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees imposed the suspension on Holder after the Windies were ruled to be two overs short of their target after time allowances were taken into consideration.

In accordance with Article 2.22.1 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Players Support Personnel, which relates to minor over-rate offences, players are fined 10 per cent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time, with the captain fined double that amount.

CWI President, Dave Cameron, is calling on the WINDIES Men to remain encouraged as Captain, Jason Holder will miss the 3rd Test due to a suspension.
