Sir Vivian Richards\u00a0<\/a>has given his backing to\u00a0Kieron Pollard<\/a>\u00a0as the Trinidadian all-rounder prepares for his first assignment as West Indies white-ball captain, with their three-match ODI series against Afghanistan beginning in Lucknow on Wednesday.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Pollard hasn\u2019t turned out for West Indies in one-day international cricket since their tour of the UAE to play Pakistan in October 2016, and his last List A appearance was over a year ago, for Trinidad and Tobago in the semi-finals of the 2018 Super50 Cup. Despite the lack of recent 50-over match practice, Richards believes that Pollard will fit right back into the side.<\/p>\n

Speaking to ESPNcricinfo at WTM London 2019, he said: \u201cIt\u2019s about getting yourself fit, and there\u2019s enough good players around him that can help out as well. I think he\u2019s a guy that will get himself to match fitness.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always admired his captaincy, I\u2019ve always felt that when he played the first CPL T20 at home, he was the best captain. I think Barbados Tridents went on to win it [in 2014], and he was the best captain in my opinion, more proactive than the rest of the captains we would have seen. I think he\u2019s in a good place.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Performances in the 2019 Caribbean Premier League strongly influenced the make-up of West Indies\u2019 squad for this tour, with the tournament\u2019s top run-scorer and leading wicket-taker,\u00a0Brandon King<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Hayden Walsh Jr<\/a>, receiving their maiden call-ups to the team. The latter, who has previously made his ODI and T20I debuts for the USA national side, is of particular interest to Richards, as a fellow Antiguan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was impressed with him as an Antiguan and Barbudan, especially in the CPL, and he\u2019s a magnificent fieldsman as well,\u201d Richards said, \u201cso I think West Indies do have some good talent coming through, and if it can be fulfilled, they\u2019ll be okay.\u201d<\/p>

Richards also expressed his hope for\u00a0Shimron Hetmyer\u00a0<\/a>to push on from the promising start to his international career. The 22-year-old has made 1199 runs at an average of 38.67 in ODIs, with four centuries and four fifties to his name in 34 innings. But it has been a different story so far in the shorter format, with just 116 runs to his name in 12 T20I innings. At CPL 2019 his record was hit and miss, only reaching double figures four times in 12 innings.<\/p>\n

\u201cHetmyer we keep speaking about, he\u2019s a young talent I believe when he settles down, his numbers could be much better for West Indies in the future, but at present, he\u2019s a little if and but at times, but when he works that out and gets to believe he can accomplish that, he\u2019ll be okay. But his talent, his talent is enormous, it\u2019s just for him to know how to get that done.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

One name missing from the West Indies squad in India is that of\u00a0Chris Gayle<\/a>. After saying he would retire from international duty after the 2019 World Cup, he made himself available for the ODI series against India in August. Despite being given what seemed like\u00a0a farewell in Trinidad<\/a>, he\u2019s still officially available for selection, and Richards wouldn\u2019t be drawn on whether it\u2019s time for the 40-year-old to sign off from his 20-year international career.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cYou should ask him that! If he thinks he\u2019s good enough to keep on going, I think he\u2019s in his forties now, and he\u2019s still being productive, I have no problem with that. But if he finds he\u2019s going to be wanting, well, he should start having a look at himself a little closer than he is at present.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gayle is the top run-scorer in T20 history, so it may have come as a surprise to some when he went unpicked in the player draft for the Hundred. Richards believes Gayle\u2019s now under-par performances in the field could have tipped the balance out of his favour.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m surprised, I think maybe Chris can still give you a brilliant hundred here and there, he can destroy any attack in my opinion. I guess they\u2019re maybe thinking that what he\u2019s going to give in the field [isn\u2019t going to be enough], because I think that\u2019s got to come into play, saving runs. \u2018Can he give us more than he can save?’\u201d<\/p>\n

After three ODIs and three T20Is, West Indies will face Afghanistan in Test cricket for the first time. The Asian side only has three matches in the format under its belt, but have won two of them, defeating Ireland at Dehradun in March and Bangladesh in Chittagong in September. Will they be the favourites in subcontinental conditions?<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d still like to say West Indies are favourites,\u201d said Richards, \u201cwhat West Indies have in terms of their fast-bowling unit, that may be the difference. It\u2019ll be a great help. If Roach, Gabriel if he\u2019s there, all the other guys bring it as a pace attack, that may counter the spin that Afghanistan have.\u201d (ESPNCricinfo)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
