In the fifth and final ODI of the five-match series against England which is scheduled to be played at the Ageas Bowl on Friday the West Indies player Jason Mohammed has been named as stand-in captain.
Carlos Brathwaite has been also added to the team for the match. A veteran of 23 ODIs, he is also the West Indies Twenty20 international captain and led the side to victory over England at Chester-le-Street in the lone Twenty20 international of the tour earlier in September.
Jason Mohammed will come in for Jason Holder who returned home to Barbados to attend the funeral of his uncle, Derrick Garrett, a local sports administrator. The team has a major setback to England in the Holder's absence.
At the Oval, they registered a six-run win over the Caribbean side. The England team had already won the five-match series by 3-0. They'd earlier won the three-match Test series 2-1 but lost the one-off T20I at Chester-le-Street.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) declared that the England's all-rounder Ben Stokes and his team-mate Alex Hales will not be considered for selection in the international matches until further notice thus there is doubt of stokes role in the upcoming Ashes series.
