Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard of T&T are doubtful for the country’s campaign – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KA-Pollard-c1754 may not be available for T&T’s campaign in the Champions League T20, 2011.
The league will be held in India but the T&T’s campaign will commence on September 19 against Sri Lanka’s T20 champions “Ruhuna”. This is the qualifying round for the Champions League in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 which will commence on Friday, September
23, 2011.
It was revealed by a local newspaper that Bravo and Pollard are highly unlikely to play for T&T because Pollard may sign up with IPL’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians and Bravo may join the Chennai Super Kings for this T20 tournament.
Newsday mentioned that ‘Red Force’ may have to compete without two strong members of their team.
The newspaper further said that the players have not declared their addition in the IPL teams and have abstained from making any certain comment.
Pollard did not disclose which side he will be playing for and gave a neutral stahttp://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-George-Burrows-c93472ement that matters of his representation have not been finalized till now and are in process, therefore, he can’t say anything for sure.
Pollard had missed the entire tour of Pakistan to West Indies and was exempted for the entire duration of the Indian Premier League. Bravo did play for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 in the 5 One Day Internationals but asked to be spared
from the Test series as he also had to play in IPL.
Captain Darren Ganga was also questioned about the two players’ loyalty with their club.
He refused to comment on and said, “I haven’t heard anything officially so I don’t want to say something that would probably jeopardize the board’s (TTCB) position or the discussions the board are having with the players...I can’t say
if they are playing or not as of now. When that decision is made I will comment on it”.
Ganga also added that although these players are uncertain in the team but still the team is confident to take up the challenge and meet Ruhuna in the qualifiers. He said that these two players are of high calibre and if remain in the
team, will definitely make a difference.
Pollard had been very successful with the bat in the last Champions League and made a noticeable contribution for his team. He was one of the highest scorers of the championship and hit most boundaries there.
Although his team stood second in that Tournament but it changed Pollard’s profile as a player.
