Dwayne Bravo [http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/player/51439.html] has been picked up in the West Indies squad on Sunday for the upcoming series against Ireland. His selection came more than three years after his last appearance for West Indies. His inclusion will help them build-up to the defence ahead of their World Twenty20 title. The 36-year-old all-rounder last played for the T20 side against Pakistan in September 2016. After that, he started focusing on franchise cricket. Bravo has played 66 Twenty20 International games for West Indies so far. He has 52 wickets and 1,142 runs in his name as well.

REUTERS/Dinuka Liyanawatte ROGER HARPER ON DWAYNE BRAVO “Dwayne Bravo was recalled with the specific intention of bolstering our ‘death’ bowling which was identified as an area that really needs improving,” said West Indies chief selector Roger Harper. “His record in this department speaks for itself. He will also be able to act as a mentor to the other ‘death’ bowlers and lend his experience wherever needed,” Harper added. However, his career has often been controversial too. He last played in the longer format of the game way back in 2010. Bravo even sacked as ODI captain in 2014 after leading a walkout over a pay dispute during India tour. He is a key player of Chennai Super Kings in Indian Premier League. Dwayne Bravo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Dwayne-Bravo.jpg]Dwayne Bravo Along with him, all-rounder Rovman Powell has also recalled in the squad. He has played 23 Twenty20 International games so far. Jason Holder, the regular captain of the team, has been rested for the series after playing the three ODIs against Ireland. The series ended on Sunday. However, Fabian Allen and Keemo Paul haven’t selected because of injury. West Indies will take on Ireland in the first game in Grenada on January 15. The next two games will take place in St Kitts on January 18 and 19 respectively. WEST INDIES T20I SQUAD: Kieron Pollard (Captain), Dwayne Bravo, Sheldon Cottrell, Shimron Hetmyer, Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Khary Pierre, Nicholas Pooran, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Lendl Simmons, Hayden Walsh, Kesrick Williams.

Kieron Pollard Biography

Kieron Pollard, the big man, he is a destructive batsman when he gets going. In addition to that he can bowl medium pace coupled with slight pace variation.

He burst onto the ODI scene in 2007 at the World Cup against South Africa. But two years later, Kieron Pollard showed what he was truly made of when he decimated New South Wales with a 18-ball 54.

Soon, South Australia cam knocking to rope him in for the Big Bash. The Mumbai Indians followed not long after for an undisclosed amount. Kieron Pollard was so good that the bidding process breached the highest limit of $750,000 and went higher.

The WICB offered him a central contract to play T20s all over the world as a freelancer, but he turned it down. He is an aggressive batsman and can clear the boundary without breaking a sweat. But, inspite of all his powerhouse hitting, Kieron Pollard has his kryptonite - spinners. He often falls prey to them while working out the ball's trajectory.

As a bowler, he tends to roll his fingers over the ball and bowl leg cutters consistently. As a fielder, Kieron Pollard snatches insane catches with ballerina-esque grace. His height and long reach is often exploited handsomely.

Internationally, he has occasional flashes of brilliance like his brutal second ODI ton against Australia, the first coming against India. However his second biggest nemesis was consistency. Kieron Pollard was earmarked for ODI cricket and has been passed over several times for Tests.

His third biggest enemy was injury and fitness. Both reduced his workload as a bowler and forced him to miss crucial games. Kieron Pollard failed to make the cut for the 2015 World Cup. Interestingly, Dwayne Bravo also joined him on the sidelines.

Naturally, the decision was widely panned by critics and experts.  Kieron Pollard is often shuttled  in and out of the national team but turns up in T20 league cricket.

IPL Career

Pollard announced himself to the IPL masses in 2010 with a few strong knocks. The 2011 and 2012 editions of the IPL were fairly mediocre by his standards unfortunately. However, in 2013, a new Kieron Pollard emerged, smashing 420 runs and picking up 10 wickets from 18 matches. That year, the Mumbai Indians romped to the title and to make things sweeter, he was named Man of the Final.

Kieron Pollard has steadily worked his way into the Mumbai Indians' core team. His ability to send balls into orbit, prompted Mumbai to retain him every season.

IPL 2019 Expectations

In IPL 2019 as well, he will be ready and eager to be unleashed as the power-hitter that he is.

Shimron Hetmyer Biography

Shimron Hetmyer has a fairly impressive resume, having won the U-19 World Cup back in 2016. His love for cricket began at the age of 11 and he has never been any happier.

Shimron Hetmyer had his first tryst with the national team at the Under-19 World Cup in 2014. However, his performance then, was less than spectacular, only squeezing out three single digit scores in five games. His first class debut went along a similar vein, with paltry scores of 0 and 4 against Trinidad and Tobago.

However, fortune soon smiled down on him once again and he needed no second invitation. This time, it was the 2016 the under-19 World Cup and he was the skipper. Shimron Hetmyer repaid whichever god that gave him a second chance, with half centuries in the quarter-finals and semi-finals. It wasn't long before the U-19 Windies stormed to the silverware.

Shimron Hetmyer is primarily known as an attacking and destructive opener. His skill was enough to earn a nod in the Carribean Premier League for the Guyana Amazon Warriors in 2016. But once again he flopped and was dismissed for a duck. To make matters even more embarrassing, it was the only game that he played.

He was picked by the West Indies in April 2017 for a three-match Test series against Pakistan. Once more, he misfired and failed to convert his fast starts. Against New Zealand later in the year, it was much of the same story his starts failing him.

On the ODIs and T20I front, it was deja vu and Shimron Hetmyer failed to deliver. He only amassed a handful of runs and was far from spectacular. Shimron Hetmyer displayed flashes of his talent, courtesy a ton against UAE in the World Cup qualifiers. However, his conversion issue came back to haunt him once more during the rest of the qualifiers.

IPL Career

IPL 2019 will be Shimron Hetmyer's IPL debut and evidently, RCB saw something in him. Inspite of his frequent misfiring, the Royal Challenger Bangalore are confident that he can put all that behind him and propel them forward.

IPL 2019 Expectations

The Royal Challengers Bangalore enter IPL 2019 with a lot of pressure on their heads. After years of missing out, they are eager to clinch a maiden IPL title. The big question is, can Shimron Hetmyer put aside his inconsistent form and deliver where it counts?
