Prior to the ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup 2024, the youthful West Indies team engaged in conversation with the legendary Kieron Pollard.

The guys in Maroon benefited from a session with Pollard, who had previously played for the West Indies as an all-rounder. Pollard was able to impart his knowledge and expertise to the up-and-coming cricket players from the region since he had a wealth of experience playing international cricket and competing in high-pressure global Twenty20 competitions.

As a member of the West Indies, Pollard participated in 123 one-day internationals and amassed 2706 runs with a strike rate of 94.41. He also got thirteen fifties and three centuries in his career. 1569 runs were scored by the all-rounder in the Twenty20 International format, and he had a strike rate of 135.14. He also took 55 wickets in one-day internationals and 42 wickets in Twenty20 internationals.

In addition to being a member of the West Indies team that won the ICC Men’s Twenty20 World Cup in 2012, he has also worked his way up through the ranks, having participated in the FIFA Under-19 World Cup in 2006.

Jordan Johnson, a little boy, expressed his gratitude to Pollard for his words of support before saying, “We would like to thank you guys for coming up and giving us your words of encouragement and motivation.” I also have high hopes that they will make the most of it to the best of their abilities. During the entirety of the World Cup, to assist us. I am grateful to you!

On the first day of the competition, the West Indies will play their first match, which will be against the South African team that is hosting the event in Potchefstroom. They will face England and Scotland in their group, in addition to the Proteas, who will constitute their opponents.
