Holder replaces McCoy

'Jason Holder has been in the UAE for a while now and will fit quite well into the team unit. He is an experienced and knowledgeable cricketer who we know will be eager and excited to grab the opportunity,' CWI's selector Roger Harper said.
Holder was earlier named as one of the three travelling reserves. West Indies have lost both matches they have played so far, and will now face Bangladesh on 29 October.
