Pollard And Narine Withdraws From Windies World Twenty20 Squad

The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) wishes to advise that two of the 15-member squad selected to participate in the ICC World Twenty20 in India in March to April have withdrawn.

The players and reasons are:
1) On Tuesday February 9, Kieron Pollard withdrew from the squad citing a lack of sufficient progress in his rehabilitative work (injury sustained in December) and hence won’t be fit for tournament.

2)  On Friday, February 12, Sunil Narine withdrew citing insufficient progress in the rehabilitative work on his bowling action. He is currently banned from bowling in International Cricket.

The selectors have today named Carlos Brathwaite to replace Pollard. A replacement for Narine has not yet been named.

tbc

too bad.  I am pulling fuh those 2 guys

While their withdrawal is blow for the West Indies team, I am glad it is not due to the payment disputes. Narine needs to work more on his action if he wants to be legal and effective, while Pollard certainly looked out of shape during the BBL

This is not good news for the Windies T20 squad.The bowling department will lose a great deal of effectiveness without the capabilities of Narine. Pollard, who can be a great game changer and is an excellent fielder, will be greatly be missed. In the case of Pollard, there are other players who are capable of filling that gap, but I don't see any replacement that is able to match Narine's capabilities.
