SK Cricket Olympics: Cricketers enter the ring for a bout

Jason Holder (West Indies)

Captain of the Test team, Holder is a surprise entrant to this list. Tall and unassuming, he has installed a punching bag inside the dressing room to ease out his pent-up frustration of seeing Marlon Samuels fail innings after innings. This is the sixth such bag, one for each innings of this series.

Having almost the same height as Tyson Fury, the lesser known Tyson in boxing circles, Jason Holder is the holder of many records in his domestic competition, the Barbadian Boxers League (BBL). He intends to play the real BBL, but fears getting Bravo-ed by the circumstances and losing a spot in the WICB’s good books.

Aggressive as a kid and having been fed on action movies, Jason wanted to be a Statham or a Bourne, but ended up being like Gillespie, a menacing right-arm pacer with a tendency to get injured at the wrong time.
