“I am worthy to be traded” West Indies cricket star insisting to leave the team due to…

Nine-man In their last Twenty20 World Cup warm-up match, Australia lost to West Indies by 35 runs. In Thursday’s match in Port of Spain, Mitch Marsh’s team once again had to rely on support personnel to fill in as substitute fielders due to a number of players who are still out due to Indian Premier League commitments.

After winning the toss and electing to bowl, Australia defeated the West Indies 257-4, reaching 222-7 in response. The game’s pivotal moment came when No. 3 Nicholas Pooran struck 75 off 25 balls, giving both teams respectable chances to advance further in the World Cup.

After a stellar IPL season with the Lucknow Super Giants, Pooran made it clear what he meant to do by hitting sixes off the first three balls he faced.

To Ashton Agar’s dismay, fielding coach Andre Borovec handed Pooran a life, but fellow substitute fielder George Bailey, Australia’s head selector, did not let his own opportunity from Adam Zampa’s bowling go to waste.

After Rovman Powell (52) scored his half-century, Tim David (1-40) emerged as Australia’s most economical bowler with his four overs of off-spin, dismissing the West Indies captain.

Australia’s opener Agar (28 off 13 balls) came as a surprise, moving captain Marsh (four) to first drop.

Shamar Joseph, who shattering David Warner’s off-stump with an inswinger that ended the opening stand, was a hero in the Gabba Test last summer. The seasoned player could barely muster fifteen runs.
