"Is that number ten? That's good."
A few hours before we chat, Kieron Pollard has just been signed by Karachi Kings. It will be (including Stanford Superstars) the tenth non-international T20 side that he has represented. While that falls short of Chris Gayle's 16, the number of teams Pollard has played for is testament to his appeal to T20 franchises around the world. Yet, though he is only 29, there is a possibility that Pollard will never represent West Indies again.
Your tenth T20 team - is it quite tough playing for so many different teams and just kind of popping up for a month and then playing for a different team?
I find it very interesting. You go, you get a job done, you impart your knowledge and then you move on. I think it's about being professional in everything that you do. Since I've been going around different teams for a while, I tend to be comfortable wherever.
Is it a challenge, in between playing, to maintain your fitness when you've got no one to tell you to do it, because you don't have a full-time contract anywhere?
No, it's not. If you pride yourself on professional work, you don't need anyone to tell you that you need to stay fit. I think that comes naturally, and if you neglect fitness that's when your performances will drop. I've seen it. Over the last two years, I've just seen a little dip in performance because I wasn't able to train hard. But now, coming out of that, and being able to train a lot harder and have that fitness regime, you see the results as well.
