He has already led the team in Pollard’s absence, winning the home T20 series against Australia last year. His first assignment will be in the Netherlands for three ODIs later this month.
“I am following in the footsteps of many legends of the game who have created an amazing legacy for West Indies cricket,” Pooran said in a statement. “It is, indeed, an iconic role, an important place in West Indian society, because cricket is the force that brings all of us West Indies together. Being the captain has really been the highlight of my career so far.”
