West Indies’ Kieron Pollard announces his BBL draft ambitions, T20 cricket’s all-time record holder and second-highest run-scorer and six-hitter Kieron Pollard has announced that BBL clubs will find him No. 1 in this month’s inaugural overseas player draft. Must see as pickup.
He’s back on his way to enjoying life:-
The former West Indies white-ball captain has been down in fitness and form so far in 2022 but said he is back on his way to enjoying life.

The game has now freed him from the rigors of international cricket, while also being one of the greatest players in the world. T20 free agents are the most sought after.
Suffering from a troublesome left knee and striking well below his lofty standard in the first half of the year, Pollard faced calls to “re-invent” himself as he entered the twilight of his career.
His 144 runs at 107.46 for Mumbai in the Indian Premier League:-
His 144 runs at 107.46 for Mumbai in this year’s Indian Premier League was his least productive 13 years in this competition and his average of 28.35 with a strike rate of 123.29 so far this year is a shadow of his career rate of 151. Runs per 100 balls.
But he replied that any great would guide his London Spirit to their second straight win to start this year’s hundred competition with a blistering 11-ball 34 not out on Monday.
And Pollard, who is almost set to be named platinum player for the KFC BBL|12 Draft on August 28, knows that his routine and dedication to personal glory will keep him in the game for as long as his body is capable.
“Because as I said it boils down to personal pride and wanting to go out there and perform every time.”
Renegades in the state-based Big Bash tournament:-
He said time constraints had kept him out of the BBL since 2017-18. But he has fond memories of his time in the Renegades and Strikers. And South Australia Redbacks in the state-based Big Bash tournament.
“Now getting a chance to play (Big Bash) and entertain the fans is something. I am looking forward to it again,” he added.

Pollard’s availability window for the BBL is yet to be confirmed. But he is unlikely to play for the full season.
Pollard was confirmed on Thursday to sign up. With the UAE‘s international league T20 competition, which is set to begin in January.
