Need To Have Another Tournament Other Than CPL To Unearth New Talent: Kieron Pollard

By IANS News November 05, 2021 • 11:52 AM View: 1639

West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard has asked Cricket West Indies (CWI) to start another tournament, other than the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), in order to unearth "new talents" in the wake of another humiliating defeat suffered at the hands of Sri Lanka in the ICC T20 World Cup 'Super 12' round.

Following the embarrassing 20-run defeat on Thursday evening, Kieron Pollard's side, who were the defending champions, have bowed out of the race for a semifinal berth, and there were plenty of questions during the post-match press conference targeting the ageing warhorses in the Caribbean side.
