Cricket West Indies (CWI), following a disappointing performance at the World Cup and a whitewash against India, has named Kieron Pollard captain in limited-overs cricket, replacing Jason Holder (ODIs) and Carlos Brathwaite (T20Is).

According to a report, the decision was taken by the CWI board of directors at a meeting in Port of Spain.

According to the report, Pollard was the player proposed by the selection committee and when the vote was taken, he got the support from six directors while the other six abstained.

The 32-year-old last played in an ODI in 2016. He was in the reserves for the 2019 World Cup and featured in the T20Is against India.
