Nicholas Pooran who has been appointed new white ball captain for the West Indies team will benefit from playing in India now. This was opined by his father Lawrence Pooran.
The 26-year-Nicholas Pooran has been playing the IPL in India for the SunRisers Hyderabad team.
"Definitely, Playing in the world's biggest men's league will immensely help him to succeed", his father Lawrence, speaking exclusively over the telephone from Trinidad said on Wednesday morning.
"My son is playing the IPL with and against world's leading cricketers and the experience he has been getting there will help him in long run. Only the renowned cricketers from Caribbean islands and other foreign countries are selected to play in the IPL".
The father was not surprised with the decision of the West Indies selectors to promote him as a new captain.
"He was already the vice captain of the team and we are not surprised with his elevation", he added.
Kraigg Brathwaite will continue to lead the West Indies team in red ball format, confirms Ricky Skerrit.
"The Test captain was changed a year ago from Jason Holder to Kraig Brathwaite. Only change is white ball to replace Pollard who has retired representing the West Indies", Skerrit said.
