Legends League | ‘Pollard’s experience will help’

He also knows the conditions very well: Sammy
Kieron Pollard knows Indian conditions like the back of his hand. That could come in handy for the West Indies cricket team on its tour of India, according to two-time T20 World Cup-winning captain Daren Sammy, who has led the World Giants into the final of the Legends League Cricket, to be played here on Saturday.
“He has been playing in India for so long (at the IPL) and knows the conditions very well,” said Sammy, who was Pollard’s captain during the West Indies’ successful campaign at the World T20 in 2012. “Hopefully that experience and knowledge he could bring on to the field,” Sammy said.
He said the West Indies will fancy its chances against India in the white-ball series, though India has always been strong at home. “They have got some really good one-day players, but we have unearthed some new talent in the ongoing series against England,” he said. “I think the West Indies would do well, but you would need the guys to take wickets with the new ball.”
