In a stunning development, talented West Indies cricketer Nicholas Pooran has announced his international retirement at the age of 29. The wicketkeeper-batter played 61 ODIs and 106 T20Is between 2016 and 2024.
“This game we love has given and will continue to give so much – joy, purpose, unforgettable memories, and a chance to represent the people of the West Indies,” Pooran said in a statement on Instagram. “Wearing that maroon, standing for the anthem, and giving everything I had each time I stepped on the field… it’s hard to put into words what that truly means to me. To have led the team as captain is a privilege I will always hold close to my heart. “Though this international chapter of my career closes, my love for West Indies cricket will never fade. I wish the team and the region nothing but success and strength for the road ahead.”
