NICHOLAS POORAN, West Indies cricket’s white-ball captain, should understand by now that being an international captain is not the same as playing franchise club cricket.

It is frustrating to listen to his utterances after losing a game.

I felt like we should have dragged it back early in the power-play but unfortunately, we couldn’t get that wicket.

“At the (halfway stage of the game) we felt that we had enough. India bowled well…they used the pitch really good. The wicket was a bit on the slower side and we felt it would be difficult to keep scoring on it.
