Nicholas Pooran is “putting family first”
Nicholas Pooran, the former West Indies T20 star, insists he will not come out of retirement to play for the regional side in next month’s ICC T20 World Cup. It runs from 7 February to 8 March in India.
The 29-year-old wicketkeeper/batsman also has no regrets about retiring from international cricket, putting franchise cricket ahead of representing the region to support his family.
Trinidadian Pooran’s shocking exit came last June after playing 106 T20Is and 61 One Day Internationals for the West Indies. He was expected to be a key player for another decade.
Pooran, who made his West Indies debut in 2016, said: “This has nothing to do with West Indies cricket, how it is, what it is, what’s happening — this has nothing to do with that. This is all about what Nicolas Pooran wants, and this is something everyone has to come on board with as well.”
