A decade of Caribbean excellence

Holder’s 300th cap comes at the historic Eden Gardens, the same venue where he helped the West Indies secure the 2016 T20 World Cup title. Since making his debut in 2013, the Barbadian has been a cornerstone of the national side, often serving as a bridge between different generations of Caribbean cricket.

Milestones and career highlights

The milestone reinforces Holder's status as one of the most prolific all-rounders in West Indian history. He is notably the only West Indian after Sir Garfield Sobers to achieve the double of 2,500 runs and 150 wickets in Test cricket.

In the shorter formats, his contributions have been equally significant. He was the youngest player to captain the West Indies in ODIs at the age of 23 and has since become the first West Indian male to claim a T20I hat-trick. Entering today’s match, Holder has been in exceptional form, currently leading the West Indies’ wicket-taking charts in the tournament with seven scalps from three matches.
