Kieron Pollard expresses his interest to play in the BBL again
Kieron Pollard has been a staple in franchise cricket across the globe
Former West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard has expressed his eagerness to play in the Big Bash League (BBL) again.
The hard-hitting all-rounder has registered himself for the upcoming Big Bash League’s international draft, and he will be in the platinum category.
Pollard, who recently became the first player to play in 600 T20 games, last appeared in the BBL way back in the 2017/18 edition for Melbourne Renegades. However, since then, he hasn’t taken part in the tournament.
The retired international cricketer said he is looking forward to getting an opportunity again in Australia’s premier T20 competition. In his BBL career, he has represented Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Renegades in the BBL.
Pollard's thoughts on BBL
“Getting an opportunity to play in the Big Bash now and entertaining the fans is something that I’m looking forward to again. When I get within a team, it’s just a matter of fitting into their practice sessions and doing what is needed,”
“I have a routine that I go through no matter if I’m playing international cricket or just playing leagues around the world to ensure that my body is on a good track,”
The BBL draft so far
For the first time in the history of the competition, an International draft will take place where some of the big names have registered for the same. The draft of the BBL will take place on 28 August 2022.
Even if he gets picked in the draft, Pollard's duration of availability for the BBL window is yet to be confirmed. He is unlikely to take part in the whole season as the Caribbean star has confirmed signing up with the UAE's International League T20 competition, which is due to start in January 2023.
