BOWLING STYE :- Right Hand Medium
Kieron Adrian Pollard (born 12 May 1987) is
a Trinidadian former cricketer, who captained the West
Indies cricket team in limited overs cricket. He
currently plays in various T20 leagues around the globe
as an all-rounder. He also captains MI Emirates and MI
New York in the SA20 and MLC respectively. He was
part of the 2012 ICC World T20 winning team for West
Indies.

In September 2019, Pollard was named as the captain of

the West Indies One Day International (ODI)
and Twenty20 International (T20I) teams. In March
2020, he became the first cricketer to play in
500 Twenty20 matches. His game has been suited for
limited overs formats, in which he has enjoyed a long
international career; he has never played Test
Cricket. In a match against Sri Lanka in March 2021, he
hit six sixes in one over bowled by Akila
Dananjaya and became the third batsman to do so in
international cricket after Herschelle Gibbs and Yuvraj
Singh.

In February 2022, in the second match against India,

Pollard became the first cricketer for the West Indies
to play in 100 T20I matches.
On 20 April 2022, Pollard announced his retirement
from international cricket. On 15 November 2022,
Pollard announced his retirement from IPL after playing
for Mumbai Indians for 13 seasons. He was then
appointed as the batting coach for Mumbai Indians.

Pollard was born in Tacarigua, Trinidad and Tobago,

where he was raised, along with two younger sisters, in
a poor home by his single mother. Speaking about it,
Pollard reflects "it wasn't ideal getting up and your
mum say 'We only have X of money'." After
representing Trinidad and Tobago in the 2005 TCL
Group West Indies Under-19 Challenge, he was
selected as part of the West Indies Under-19 cricket
team to tour Pakistan. Pollard top-scored for the West
Indies in the first youth One Day International (ODI),
scoring 53 runs off 49 balls. Pollard made another half-
century in the second match, but didn't manage to make
double figures in either of last two games. He was
named in the West Indies squad for the 2006 U/19
Cricket World Cup, held in Sri Lanka, where he only
managed to make 19–runs in his four innings, though
he did manage to take two wickets in a defeat to
Australia.
During the 2006 English season, he went to England to
play for Haxey CC in Lincolnshire; he played five
games for the club before he was recalled by Trinidad
and Tobago to play in the Stanford Twenty20. Pollard
made his senior debut for Trinidad and Tobago in the
twenty20 competition against the Cayman Islands in
July 2006. He finished the tournament with a
respectable return of six wickets, and starred in the
semi-final against Nevis, scoring 83 runs off just
38 balls, an innings which included 7 sixes to book
Trinidad and Tobago's place in the final. He made his
first-class debut six months later against Barbados, and
marked the occasion with a century. As in the
Twenty20, his innings contained a large number of
boundaries, with 86 of his 126 runs coming from either
fours or sixes. A score of 46 not out on his List A debut
ensured that Pollard was in the selector's minds for the
upcoming World Cup, and he described it as "a dream
come true" when he was selected in the provisional 30-
man squad for the tournament. Pollard's "dream run"
continued with half-centuries in both four-day and 50-
over matches against Guyana, followed by his second
first-class century, coming against the Leeward Islands.

NAME :- David Warner

BORN :- 27 October 1986
AGE :- 37
BATTING STYLE :- Left-handed
BOWLING STYLE :- Right arm leg break
David Andrew Warner (born 27 October 1986) is an
Australian international cricketer and a former
captain of the Australian national team in limited overs
formats and a former Test vice-captain. A left-
handed opening batsman, Warner is the first Australian
cricketer in 132 years to be selected for the national
team in any format without experience in first-class
cricket. He is considered one of the best batsmen of this
generation, and one of the greatest opening batsmen of
all time across all three formats. He plays for New
South Wales and Sydney Thunder in domestic cricket.
Warner was a prominent member of the victorious
Australian squad of the 2015 Cricket World Cup,
the 2021 T20 World Cup, where he was the Player of
the Tournament, and the 2021–2023 ICC World Test
Championship by winning the 2023 ICC World Test
Championship final and 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup.
In January 2017, he became the fourth player to win
the Allan Border Medal more than once and to win the
award in consecutive years. On 28 September 2017 he
played in his 100th One Day International (ODI).
In March 2018, following a preliminary investigation
into ball tampering by the Australian team in the third
match of their Test series against South Africa, Warner
was suspended and charged with bringing the game into
disrepute. Following a board meeting later in the
month, Cricket Australia banned Warner from all
international and domestic cricket in Australia for one
year, and from any leadership positions permanently.
David Warner was born on 27 October 1986
in Paddington, a suburb in eastern Sydney. At the age
of 13, he was asked by his coach to switch to right-
handed batting because he kept hitting the ball in the
air. However his mother, Lorraine Warner (née
Orange), encouraged him to return to batting left-
handed and he broke the under-16's run-scoring record
for the Sydney Coastal Cricket Club. He then made
his first grade debut for the Eastern Suburbs club at the
age of 15 and later toured Sri Lanka with the Australian
under-19s and earned a rookie contract with the state
team. Warner attended Matraville Public School
and Randwick Boys High School.
On 29 November 2008, Warner hit his first domestic
One Day century for New South Wales with a score of
165* against Tasmania at Hurstville Oval in Sydney.
This innings got him the record of the highest one day
score by a Blues player. In the reverse fixture at Hobart,
he backed it up with a 54-ball 97 to narrowly miss the
record for the fastest ever century in Australian
domestic cricket.
Warner made his first-class debut playing for New
South Wales against Western Australia in the final
match of the 2008–09 Sheffield Shield season at the
Sydney Cricket Ground on 5–8 March 2009. Batting
only once and coming in at number six in the batting
order, Warner scored 42 runs off 48 deliveries.
While playing for New South Wales, Warner broke the
record for the highest Australian one-day domestic
score. His score of 197 came off just 141 balls and
included 20 fours and 10 sixes, surpassing Jimmy
Maher's previous record of 187.
Warner has been one of the most successful overseas
batsmen in the Indian Premier League, scoring over
6,000 runs and winning the Orange Cap award for the
highest scoring batter in a season three times.
Warner was signed by Delhi Daredevils in 2009,
playing for the team until 2013. Following the 2014
IPL auction, however, he moved to Sunrisers
Hyderabad for US$880,000. In 2015, he was appointed
captain of the team and ended the season as the
tournament's leading run scorer.
He continued as captain in 2016, leading the team to its
first championship, scoring 69 runs from 38 balls in the
final against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Warner
finished the season with 848 runs, the second highest in
the tournament. In 2017, Warner scored 126 runs
against Kolkata Knight Riders, breaking his previous
career highest IPL score of 109 not out. He finished the
season as the leading run scorer, and was awarded the
Orange cap for the second time.

NAME :- Kane Williamson

BORN :- 8 August 1990
AGE :- 33
BATTING STYLE :- Right Handed
BOWLING STYLE :- Right-arm off-break
Kane Stuart Williamson (born 8 August 1990) is a
New Zealand cricketer. On 27 February 2023,
Williamson became the all-time leading run-scorer for
New Zealand in Test cricket. A right-handed batsman
and an occasional off spin bowler, he is widely regarded
as one of the greatest contemporary batsmen and
captains New Zealand has ever produced. He
captained New Zealand to victory in the 2021 ICC
World Test Championship final.
Williamson made his first-class cricket debut in
December 2007. He made his U-19 debut against the
touring Indian U-19 team the same year and was named
captain of the New Zealand U-19 team for the 2008 U-
19 Cricket World Cup. He made his international debut
in 2010. Williamson has represented New Zealand at
the 2011, 2015 and 2019 editions of the Cricket World
Cup and 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2021 editions of the ICC
World Twenty20. He made his full-time captaincy
debut for New Zealand in the 2016 ICC World
Twenty20 in India. He captained New Zealand at
the 2019 Cricket World Cup, leading the team to
the final and winning the Player of the Tournament
award in the process. On 31 December 2020, he
reached a Test batting rating of 890, surpassing Steve
Smith and Joe Root as the number one ranked Test
batsmen in the world. He was nominated for the Sir
Garfield Sobers Award for ICC Male Cricketer of the
Decade, and the award for Test cricketer of the
decade. Ian Chappell and Martin Crowe have ranked
Williamson among the top four or five Test cricket
batsmen, along with Joe Root, Steve Smith, Virat
Kohli of the current era.
Williamson was the only New Zealander to be named in
the ICC Test Team of the Decade (2011–2020). The
late former New Zealand cricketer, Martin
Crowe, noted that, "we're seeing the dawn of probably
our greatest ever batsman" in Williamson. In June 2021,
he captained New Zealand to win the inaugural ICC
World Test Championship, the first ICC trophy the
team won since winning the 2000 ICC KnockOut
Trophy. In November 2021, he led New Zealand to
the final of the ICC T20 World Cup.
Williamson was born on 8 August 1990 in Tauranga,
New Zealand. His father Brett was a sales
representative who had played under-17 and club
cricket in New Zealand and his mother Sandra had been
a representative basketball player. He has a twin brother
Logan, who is one minute younger than him. The
brothers have three older sisters, Anna, Kylie and
Sophie. All three were accomplished volleyball players,
and Anna and Sophie were in New Zealand age group
teams. Williamson's grandmother Joan Williamson-
Orr served as mayor of Taupō. His first cousin Dane
Cleaver has also played international cricket for New
Zealand.
Williamson played senior representative cricket at the
age of 14 and first-class cricket at 16. He
attended Tauranga Boys' College from 2004 to 2008,
where he was head boy in his final year. He was
coached by Pacey Depina who described Williamson as
having "a thirst to be phenomenal – but not at anyone
else's expense." He reportedly scored 40 centuries
before he left school.
Williamson signed for Gloucestershire to play in
the 2011 English county season. On 14 August 2013, he
signed for Yorkshire for the rest of the season and
subsequently signed to return for the 2014 season, when
his side won the County Championship. He signed to
return the latter part of the 2015 season, but when
incumbent overseas player Aaron Finch was not
selected for the Australia ODI squad, Yorkshire
ultimately chose to extend Finch's deal in place of
Williamson. He subsequently signed a deal for part of
the 2016 season, and also returned for a part of the 2018
season.
