Kieron Pollard retires from Int’l cricket
West Indies limited-overs captain Kieron Pollard has retired from international cricket by announcing his decision on social media.
“After careful deliberation I’ve today decided to retire from international cricket,” Pollard said in a video on Instagram.
“As is the case of many young persons it was a dream of mine to represent the West Indies team from the time I was a boy of 10 years and I’m proud to have represented West Indies cricket for over 15 years in both the T20 and ODI forms of the game.”
Pollard played 123 ODIs from 2007 to 2022, scoring 2706 runs at an average of 26.01 with three centuries, and took 55 wickets along the way too.
In 101 T20Is, he scored 1569 runs while striking at 135.14 with a high score of 75 not out. He never played a Test for West Indies and was one of many white-ball specialists for West Indies for more than a decade.
He has played the second-most men’s international games (224) without playing a Test after David Miller.
Pollard is currently in India playing the IPL for five-time campions Mumbai Indians. (ESPNcricinfo)
