from the Jamaica Gleaner:

Powell is giving himself three months to be fully prepared and once he returns, he believes he can put in another five good years of playing before he retires.

Powell is remembered as the youngest West Indian to score a one-day international century. He made 2,000 ODI runs at a strike rate of 98, which is the highest strike rate for a West Indian player with more than 1,000 ODI runs. Healso emulated Gordon Greenidge by hitting eight sixes in an ODI innings against India in 1999 in Singapore - a West Indian ODI record.
