The decision by the Cricket West Indies (CWI) to appoint Kieron Pollard as captain of the limited overs side following an indifferent World Cup campaign was met with apprehension in some quarters.
Analysts argued that it was a backward step while others, including legend Brian Lara, commended the move and suggested that the 32-year old Trinidadian was the right man for the job.
Despite the criticism, Pollard, against the odds, led the Caribbean side with admiration during a lengthy tour of India where they tested Virat Kohli’s men.
