He understands watching film what they're going to do. Um, and no one's out here trying to get numbers.

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.

Is Travis Kelce preparing for a graceful NFL exit? 5 veterans who might retire after the 2025 season

As the 2025 NFL season approaches, retirement looms for several veterans including Travis Kelce (Getty Images) As the 2025 NFL season looms, the conversation around retirement is louder than ever—especially for players whose careers have defined the past decade. One name leading the speculation? Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce . With his 13th NFL season on the horizon and his body showing signs of wear, fans and analysts alike are wondering: Is this his final run? Travis Kelce's legacy may soon pivot from NFL dominance to Olympic glory Travis Kelce missed OTAs this June, setting off rumors about retirement. Though he recently dazzled at the Chiefs' Big Slick charity event, the missed practice sparked real concern. At 35, with a contract expiring after 2025 and two consecutive sub-1,000-yard seasons, the writing may be on the wall. — nypost (@nypost) Yet, Kelce's next move might not be total retirement—it could be Olympic flag football. With NFL players now eligible to represent Team USA at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, Kelce could exit gracefully from the league and shift to a lighter version of competition. 'Kelce is an absolute legend,' Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report noted. 'He'd be a no-brainer in early retirement.' Since retired players don't count against a team's salary cap, it's a win-win for both Kelce and the Chiefs.
