Nicholas Pooran Audio | ICC Cricket World Cup Preparations

SOUTHAMPTON, England – West Indies middle-order batsman Nicholas Pooran spoke to CWI Media as he prepares for the ICC Cricket World Cup. The 23-year-old made his ODI debut earlier this year and will be playing in the marquee event for the first time. This is the 12th edition of the  ICC Cricket World Cup and will be played in England and Wales from May 30 to July 14.

“I’m feeling confident. I have a great bunch of team-mates and they have been offering lots of support and good advice. I’m relaxed and really looking forward to playing in the world Cup for the first time,” Pooran said. “It was always my dream to play for the West Indies and to get this chance to play in the World Cup is something special. After my accident a few years ago it was a long road to recovery, but I’m here now, and want to make the most of every opportunity.”

West Indies are presently in Southampton as part of their preparations for the tournament. The opening match is on Friday, May 31 against Pakistan at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. First ball is 10:30am (5:30am Eastern Caribbean Time/4:30am Jamaica Time).
