Former West Indies cricketer Dwayne Bravo, who retired from international cricket in October 2018, expressed his desire to don the West Indies colours again after Kieron Pollard was named as the new limited-overs captain on Tuesday.
Bravo took to Instagram to write: “Congratulations my friend @kieron.pollard55 on being appointed WI captain you deserve it and u will be a great leader hopefully I can finally get back in WI colors again #Champion. (sic)”
All-rounder Kieron Pollard on Monday was named skipper of the West Indies ODI and T20I team taking over from Jason Holder and Carlos Brathwaite, respectively. However, Holder will continue to lead the team in the red-ball game.
“He’s (Holder) a very important force and is still going to be our red-ball captain. Holder will now compete for a place in Pollard’s team and use this as an opportunity to become a better cricketer. Pollard is the right man at the right time to take our white-ball teams forward,” Cricket West Indies president Ricky Skerritt said in a statement as quoted by ESPNCricinfo.
Pollard’s opening assignment as captain will be against Afghanistan in November in India, where they will play three T20Is and three ODIs before a one-off Test.
