London, April 4 (NationPress) The World Championship of Legends season 2 proudly reintroduces West Indies icons Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard back into the realm of professional T20 cricket with the West Indies Champions.
Pollard captained the West Indies from 2019 to 2022, amassing over 11,000 T20 runs, while Bravo stands out as one of the format’s most accomplished all-rounders, with 631 wickets and 6,970 runs from 582 T20 matches played between 2004 and 2021.
"It's thrilling to don the colors of the West Indies once more - I am truly looking forward to playing alongside and against dear friends and cricketing legends," Bravo remarked.
When reflecting on reuniting with Pollard, he expressed, "Polly and I have shared a long-standing friendship. Now, we get to represent our country again in the World Championship of Legends."
In response to Bravo’s return, Pollard commented, “We’ve played together for many years, both for the West Indies and in franchise cricket - it’s wonderful to have the opportunity to do so again.”
"For me, this return is indeed special. Wearing the colors of the West Indies Champions again and competing with legends is an opportunity I couldn’t overlook," he added, reflecting on his own return to international play.
Ajay Sethi, owner of West Indies Champions, stated, “This feels like reliving history. The return of Bravo and Pollard signifies the golden era of West Indies cricket. These two have epitomized West Indies T20 success for years, and seeing them step out in maroon once more is emotional for fans and the cricketing community alike. This isn’t just a comeback; it’s a tribute to legacy.”
Harshit Tomar, founder & CEO of the World Championship of Legends, emphasized, "WCL is not solely about retired players and legends - we also spotlight cricketers who are actively playing globally but lack central contracts with their boards. Pollard and Bravo have always been among my favorites. Their return enhances the strength of the West Indies Champions team immensely!"
Sanctioned by the England & Wales Cricket Board, the World Championship of Legends represents the only global T20 league for retired professionals, uniting legends from India, Pakistan, Australia, England, South Africa, and the West Indies.
