The T20 World Cup 2024 is going to start from June 2. This tournament will be played in America and West Indies, before which the host team West Indies has suffered a major setback. Actually, the team's star bowler Jason Holder has suddenly been ruled out of the T20 World Cup due to injury. Obed McCoy has been added to the team as his replacement.

West Indies Cricket has tweeted from its official X account in which it has informed about Jason Holder's injury and his exclusion from the T20 World Cup. Windies Cricket wrote, 'Jason Holder is an experienced player in our set-up. His absence will undoubtedly be felt both inside and outside the field. We hope that a fully fit Jason will be with us soon.'

He further wrote, 'While it is unfortunate to lose a player of the caliber of Jason Holder, we are confident in the abilities of Obed McCoy. Obed has shown remarkable skill and promise in his performances and this opportunity will allow him to showcase his talent on the international stage. We believe he will bring a new and dynamic energy to the team.'

Let us tell you that Jason Holder's sudden exit from the World Cup tournament is a big setback for West Indies because Holder has experience of 249 T20 matches. This player has taken 244 wickets in T20 format and 66 wickets in T20 International. He also gives backup to the team with batting, that is why his absence will definitely hurt the team. In such a situation, it will be very interesting to see whether Obed McCoy is able to fill his place with his bowling or not.
