So much has changed since I recorded this episode. At the time of recording, Kieron Pollard held the prestigious position of Windies T20 and One-day cricket captain. However, on April 20th 2022, Polly (as he is affectionately called by many West Indian fans) announced his retirement from international cricket. Well that one hit me for 6! Pun intended
That announcement made my interview with him even more meaningful as we explored the significance of becoming a father and making difficult decisions that impacted his family.
We also discussed contractual obligations vs parental obligations and the impact of setting a positive foundation for his children.
Polly acknowledges the mammoth task that his wife Jenna has played in his life and that of their children and recognizes that he probably wouldn’t have made such tremendous strides in his career without her support.
Of course, we had a bit of fun “in the nets” to end off. Hope you enjoy
