London, April 4 World Championship of Legends season 2 welcomes West Indies legends Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard back to professional T20 cricket with the West Indies Champions.
Pollard led the West Indies from 2019 to 2022 and has over 11,000 T20 runs while Bravo is one of the format’s most prolific all-rounders, claiming 631 wickets and scoring 6,970 runs across 582 T20 matches between 2004 and 2021.
"It's great to be representing the West Indies once again - I'm incredibly excited to play with and against good friends and cricketing legends," Bravo said.
On teaming up with Pollard again, he added, "Polly and I have been good friends for such a long time. Now, we represent our nation once more in the World Championship of Legends."
Reacting to Bravo’s return, Pollard said, “We played together for many years for West Indies and in franchise cricket - it's nice to be able to do that once again.”
"For me too, coming back feels special. To once again wear the colours of West Indies Champions and compete with legends is something I couldn’t pass up," he added reflecting on his own international return.
Ajay Sethi, owner of West Indies Champions, said, “It’s like reliving history. Bravo and Pollard returning together define the golden era of West Indies cricket. These two have been the face of West Indies T20 success for years, and to see them walk out in maroon again is emotional not just for fans, but for the entire cricketing world. This is not just a comeback; it’s a celebration of legacy.”
Harshit Tomar, founder & CEO of the World Championship of Legends, noted, "WCL is not just about retired players and legends - we also focus on cricketers who are still actively playing around the world but are not centrally contracted with their respective boards. Pollard and Bravo have always been among my favourites as well. With them back in the squad, the West Indies Champions team looks incredibly strong!"
Sanctioned by the England & Wales Cricket Board, the World Championship of Legends is the only global T20 league for retired professionals, uniting legends from India, Pakistan, Australia, England, South Africa and the West Indies.
