Kieron Pollard will turn out for Trinbago Knight Riders, his "home side", for the 2019 edition of the Caribbean Premier League.
Pollard, one of West Indies' premier short-format allrounders, has never played for the Trinidad and Tobago franchise in the CPL so far, neither in its earlier Red Steel avatar nor the revamped Knight Riders. He spent five seasons with Barbados Tridents and the last one with St Lucia Stars.
This time, for the tournament running from September 4 to October 12, Pollard will be Knight Riders' marquee player.
"We are delighted to welcome Pollard back home and it's great to continue our efforts to bring as many Trini boys home as possible," Venky Mysore, the team director, said in a statement. "I can't wait for the reaction of the fans when Pollard takes the field at our opening game on 4 September."
