Caribbean batsman Nicholas Pooran has a strong plan ready for success in SA20
Pooran will be looking to perform well for Durban Super Giants in the ongoing SA20 Nicholas Pooran (Image Credit- Twitter) West Indies’ explosive batsman Nicholas Pooran has performed brilliantly in the shortest format of the game over the last few years. Whichever team he has played for, he has scored runs consistently. Nicholas Pooran has opened up about representing the Durban Super Giants in the second season of the SA20 and repeating his similar performances. Let us tell you that Durban Super Giants will face MI Cape Town in their opening match of the season. Cape Town finished bottom of the table in 2023 under Rashid Khan, but Nicholas Pooran is not going to make the mistake of taking it lightly. Puran said that whichever team can handle its weaknesses better, comes out victorious in the end. “I just want to keep doing what I have been doing for the last few years, which is consistently delivering match-winning performances and helping my teammates succeed as well,” IOL quoted Pooran as saying. This gives West Indies players another chance to improve: Pooran Ahead of the clash with MI, Pooran said that the game is played on its day, no matter who is in his team. There are many skilled players in our team and we have a very good lineup. This is a competition between bat and ball. Whoever can maintain his composure for a longer period has higher chances of winning. We are ready and we look forward to the challenge. Let us tell you that the West Indies team had failed to qualify for the 2022 T20 World Cup and 2023 ODI World Cup. Speaking on this, Pooran said that the last few years have been extremely challenging for the West Indies, but he is happy and thanks leagues like SA20 that Caribbean players get the opportunity to improve. read this also- When Indian fans became Rohit Sharma’s enemies in Australia!

Swann feels that this time the spin department of the English team is stronger than before. So let us tell you that when England toured India in 2021, their spin bowling was not sharp. Jack Leach was the only spin bowler who got wickets. But he did not get any support from Dam Bees and Moeen Ali. Apart from this, Joe Root, who is a part-timer, could not expect much from him. But this time apart from Jack Leach, Rehan Ahmed, Tom Hartley and Shoaib Bashir are included in the English squad on the tour. Also, let us tell you that the domestic figures of Rehan Ahmed, Tom Hartley and Shoaib Bashir have been excellent in the last one year. Graeme Swann gave a big statement Let us tell you that Graeme Swann said on Sky Sports Cricket Podcast – He (England’s spinner) can bowl. The players who are going to India this time, the circumstances are favorable for them and they get opportunities. So they can handle this pressure and it’s going to be a really exciting tour.
