PROFILE
The dynamite, the West Indian batting mainstay, and a clean middle-order striker, Nicholas Pooran is one of the world’s most feared batters going around. With the ability to take the bowling on from ball one, no boundary is big enough for our superstar.
Being a left-hander and a wicket-keeper who can also double up as a superb outfielder, he brings a unique proposition to the table, and with his leadership abilities too, offers a delicious combo!
A child prodigy marked out for bigger things in his teenage years, he created history by becoming the youngest player to be signed up in the Caribbean Premier League back in 2013, followed by an extremely impressive stint in the under-19 World Cup.
At 29, he’s currently in the prime of his career and is batting like a dream. He was the highest run-scorer in the 2023 MLC season with 388 runs under his belt. You really don't need to look beyond his 137* at the MLC Final to know that. The Nicky-Polly partnership is back after pocketing the double of the MLC and the ILT20 titles last season to defend their crown!
