MLC 2025: Jason Holder named Los Angeles Knight Riders captain; Sunil Narine to lead first two games

Jason Holder. (Photo by) The Los Angeles Knight Riders have announced Jason Holder as their captain for the upcoming 2025 season of Major League Cricket (MLC). Holder, who has led the West Indies across formats, brings plenty of leadership experience and all-round ability to the team. His presence is expected to be a key factor in LAKR's campaign this year. However, Holder will miss the first two matches of the season due to international duties. In his absence, Sunil Narine will lead the team. Narine is no stranger to leadership, having recently served as the vice-captain of Kolkata Knight Riders during the 2025 IPL season. His experience with the Knight Riders franchise makes him a natural choice to step in. Holder is expected to join the squad before their third match, which is against Washington Freedom on 17 June.
