Holder, who also played for English county cricket side Worcestershire, was appointed an honorary vice president of the club in 2021.

He debuted in the tour of England in 1969 and returned again in 1973 as part of an improving side which ended a 6½-year streak of not having won a Test series.

In 1974 he was part of Worcestershire's Championship winning side and earlier in the year he scored his only first-class century, 122 for Barbados.

In 1981 he played county cricket for Shropshire in nine matches, scoring 181 runs and taking 45 wickets.
