I desperately want us to be successful and the most value I can give to the team is through fully focusing on the role of consistently scoring runs at crucial times "

Following Kieron Pollard's retirement, the star wicket-keeper batter Nicholas Pooran was appointed as the skipper of the white ball side. He although has decided to give up on the role only after 6 months of leading the team.
