West Indies T20 captain, Kieron Pollard, has pointed to the fact that the senior players recalled to the team have consistently proven their value with high-level performances, which has not always been the case with younger players who got the opportunity.

The recent recall of veteran players Chris Gayle and Fidel Edwards, who are 41 and 39, respectively, caused consternation in some quarters.  Some argue the selection of such senior players may have taken opportunities away from younger players looking to secure places in the World Cup squad.

“Some of the guys have gotten opportunities when we started off in 2019, I believe, and it hasn’t produced the results that we might have wanted on a consistent basis.  Guys were still in and out for non-cricketing reasons and stuff like that,” Pollard told members of the media via a Zoom press conference on Tuesday.

I hope Pollard demands excellence on himself because it is not working for him as a leader either.

Captain Pollard's excellence: 12 T20i and he could only scrape out (5) five wins and (7)seven defeat.

So many “he’d better win” being thrown around pre match

Those change like a caterpillar to a butterfly tomorrow into “ it’s only Sri Lanka “
