“[…] I ask the question… where is the real Kieron Pollard? Where’s the ultra-aggressive and controversial leader who constantly gets under the skin of opposing players? “Where’s the tactically sound, charismatic Kieron Pollard who demands maximum effort on the field of play from his players? Where’s the captain who takes …

After winning the toss against India at Eden Gardens in Kolkata today, West Indies white ball captain Kieron Pollard lamented that ‘the way we fielded in the second game is where we faltered—and bowling in the back end’. Today in the third and final T20 match, Pollard’s Maroon Men ‘faltered …

“We are a six-hitting team,” West Indies white ball vice-captain Nicholas Pooran repeated time and time again in the run-up to the 2021 World Cup. In the UAE, we saw none of it. But today, needing a Carlos Brathwaite imitation in the second T20I at the same Eden Gardens in …

“[…] Kemar Roach’s ODI stats are not in any way indicative of his abilities as a consistent and reliable wicket-taker. 124 wickets captured in 92 matches played equates to less than two per match. “There is absolutely no questioning the value that Kemar Roach has provided as the West Indies …

Mooen Ali came to the party today, bringing his fastest half-century in T20Is and a couple of wickets to get England to 193 for 6 and restrict West Indies to 159 for 5. His 63 off 28 balls and 2/28 Man-of-the-Match performance helped his team beat Kieron Pollard’s West Indies …

The West Indies will take an unchanged T20 International team to India,  the newly appointed selectors confirming the composition of the 16-man squad today.

Cricket West Indies (CWI) president Ricky Skerritt has blamed ‘well-known mischief makers’ for rumours of a rift within the West Indies cricket team, as the regional governing body attacked ‘unfounded and mischievous allegations’ in a press release tonight.
