Pooran to lead West Indies in limited-overs cricket
After Kieron Pollard’s retirement from international cricket, wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran has been appointed as the West Indies captain in One-day Internationals and T20 Internationals.
Pooran said: “This is indeed a prestigious role, a pivotal position in the West Indian society, as cricket is the force that brings us all West Indians together. To be named captain is indeed the highlight of my career so far and I want to drive the team forward to accomplish great things on the field for our fans and loyal supporters.”
Pooran’s first assignment as captain will be a three-match ODI series in the Netherlands, starting on May 31.
