Former West Indies captain Kieron Pollard will join the England coaching team for the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
Pollard becomes part of the England set-up specifically as an assistant coach for the June tournament.
The 36-year-old from Trinidad and Tobago will provide expertise of Caribbean conditions with the competition being co-hosted by the West Indies and the United States.
Former Somerset all-rounder Pollard helped the West Indies win the T20 World Cup in 2012 and has played a record 600-plus matches in the format.
The ninth edition of the T20 World Cup will be held between June 4 and June 30 next year, with the final to be staged at the Kensington Oval in Barbados.
England will defend the title they won for the second time in Australia 13 months ago in a tournament expanded from 16 to 20 teams.

Not being praised pales in comparison to being incessantly called a donkey. Chill with the victim complex.
My philosophy is ...support who you want to support...but no need to insult folks.

It’s a shame Pollard was not given a contract long ago to join our coaching staff . Say what we want but Pollard, Gayle and Dwain Bravo are among the best T20 players the world has seen we produced them. I wouldn’t be surprised that Bravo is contracted by maybe Australia and Gayle by India / Pakistan or New Zealand. We just keep rejecting our locals that can for some that never played T20. What a shame!
