West Indies have suffered a blow ahead of the T20 World Cup with key all-rounder Jason Holder ruled out with injury.

Cricket West Indies (CWI) said that Holder, the former Test and ODI captain, would be replaced in the World Cup squad by left-arm fast bowler Obed McCoy.
"Jason is an experienced player in our set-up. His absence will undoubtedly be felt both on and off the field. We look forward to having a fully fit Jason with us again soon," said lead selector Desmond Haynes.
McCoy is currently part of the West Indies squad playing in the three-match T20I series against South Africa in Kingston.

The 27-year-old McCoy, who represents the Windward Islands in regional Caribbean cricket, has played regularly for the West Indies T20 team and has also played franchise cricket in the Indian Premier League.
CWI did not give details of Holder's injury but it was believed he picked it up while playing county cricket for Worcestershire.
CWI also announced the five reserve players - Kyle Mayers, Matthew Forde, Fabian Allen, Hayden Walsh and Andre Fletcher - selected as back-up in case of injury in the World Cup squad of 15.
West Indies are in World Cup Group C along with Papua New Guinea, Uganda, New Zealand and Afghanistan.
