Windies Holder loses Nos 1 all-rounder ranking

WEST Indies captain Jason Holder was leapfrogged by Englishman Ben Stokes as the top all-rounder in Test cricket after a mediocre performance in the first Test match against New Zealand.

Holder scored 25 not out and eight in the match and with the ball he did not get any wickets.

Holder led Stokes by one point, but the latter is now leading by 12 points in the International Cricket Council (ICC) rankings.

West Indies batsman Jermaine Blackwood moved up the batting rankings after scoring 104 against New Zealand. The right-hander moved up 17 places to 41st.
