#3 Jason Holder

New Zealand v West Indies - 1st ODI

Jason Holder might be the West Indies captain in both Tests and ODIs but there is a very high chance that for the second year in a row, the all-rounder is among the players who are unsold.

With a base price of 1.5 crore, a player will have to command a place in the side as just a bowler or a batsman. Unfortunately for Holder, despite his impressive record in the longer formats, he hasn't been anywhere near as successful in the shortest format of the game. His high economy rate and average of just over 10 with the bat don't inspire a great deal of confidence.

A high base price and litany of options that are not only cheaper but also better with either bat or ball is likely to result in the West Indian all-rounder being disappointed for the second year in a row.
