It’s beginning to look a lot like, not Christmas, but ciao for West Indies white ball captain Kieron Pollard. I have a niggling suspicion that the 34-year-old globetrotting allrounder has had it with the sniping and the pot-shot-taking that never ends in the Caribbean. And with having to repeat, you …

It is not for nothing that, on Day 3 of their four-day West Indies Championship contest against the Jamaica Scorpions, Trinidad and Tobago Red Force head coach Dave Furlonge and his match analyst, Amit Jadoo, were already peeking at what the next opponents, the Windward Islands Volcanoes, were up to. …

Player-of-the-Series against England Jason Holder continued his return to world number one allrounder form at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad today—this time with the bat.
