The West Indian cricket team braved the COVID-19 pandemic and traveled to the UK to play a 3-match Test series against England. Jason Holder made history by becoming the first captain to tour after the halt in play due to the widespread pandemic.
He hasn't gone back since then. He has jumped from one bio-secure bubble to another. After the England tour came to an end, he went back to the West Indies to play in the Caribbean Premier League.
From there, he was brought into the Indian Premier League as a replacement for Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounder Mitchell Marsh.

Holder led the West Indian side in New Zealand after that and now will be traveling to Australia for the ongoing Big Bash League. He hasn't been home in the last six months now and fears that it will have adverse effects on him.
Holder told reporters, "It has been a tough year. Not just for the team but for me personally. I haven’t seen home in six months now. I have been going non-stop."
"Going from bubble to bubble and being isolated into a hotel room. It sometimes gets smaller and smaller by the second. It’s a situation where you’re still trying to make a living and make use of every opportunity you get," he added.
At the moment he's not getting too much affected by it and has been enjoying traveling so far. He is looking forward to making full use of the opportunities ahead of him.
"At this point, I am still enjoying it. Still enjoying moving around. I’m trying to make use of every opportunity I get and hope it works out for me," the Barbadian said.
