Pollard barred from CPL Draft

Thu, Feb 11, '16

Barbados Tridents skipper Kieron Pollard will not be in attendance today at the Caribbean Premier League Player Draft which gets underway at the Concorde Experience, Chris Church, Barbados.

Pollard, who captained the Tridents to victory in the CPL in 2014, has been barred from the Player Draft and will instead liaise with coach Robin Singh and new Indian owner Dr Vijay Mallya via Skype to strategise and select their team to compete in the 2016 edition which bowls off in June-July.

Reports emerged on Tuesday that high ranking West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) officials have requested CPL not permit the 28-year-old to represent the Tridents in the Draft which starts at 11am today.
