About Jason Holder

Jason Holder is the soul of modern West Indies cricket—a towering presence on the field and a calm, measured voice off it. Born on November 5, 1991, in Barbados, Holder’s career has been marked by leadership, grit, and an unwavering commitment to the legacy of Caribbean cricket. He rose rapidly through the ranks, making his ODI debut in 2013 and becoming West Indies’ youngest-ever Test captain at just 23. While the team around him went through a turbulent transition, Holder was the glue—shouldering responsibility with both bat and ball, often in losing causes but never losing spirit. His all-round skills were on full display when he famously scored an unbeaten 202 against England in 2019*, becoming one of only a few players to take 100+ wickets and score 200+ runs in Tests. Standing at 6’7”, Holder generates awkward bounce with the ball, bowls with control, and hits powerfully down the order. But what truly sets him apart is his maturity. He captained with grace during challenging times, including when West Indies took a strong stance for racial justice in 2020. Holder was never about theatrics—he was about integrity. In white-ball cricket, he has been equally impactful. His bowling is miserly at the death, and his adaptability makes him a valuable T20 league pick. He’s played in the IPL, BBL, and CPL, always earning respect for his cricket IQ and work ethic. Off the field, Holder is eloquent, composed, and deeply thoughtful. He’s not just a cricketer—he’s a statesman in the Caribbean game, always putting the team, region, and legacy before himself. Jason Holder is more than just numbers. He’s a pillar—of poise, leadership, and West Indian pride.
