(UTV|COLOMBO) – West Indies have confirmed Kraigg Brathwaite will captain the side in the absence of suspended Jason Holder during the third Test against England.
Regular skipper Holder will serve a one-match ban for his side’s slow over-rate during their second-Test victory.
Brathwaite captained West Indies in a series defeat in Bangladesh in November during Holder’s absence through injury.
Bowler Keemo Paul, who has two Tests caps, has been called up to replace Holder in the 14-man squad.
Bowler Alzarri Joseph has been included, despite the death of his mother during the second Test in Antigua.
West Indies lead the three-match series 2-0 after crushing victories in the first two Tests.
The final match begins in St Lucia on Saturday.
