Caribbean Cricket Podcast · Why Nicholas Pooran left West Indies cricket pt 2. · 25 Jan 2026 podcast

It's just like...

Yeah, I love West Indies cricket, but I'm done.

And it doesn't make sense because we've seen man in his peak in the IPL a month ago.

So it's not as if we could see him being tired and injuries taken at all.

Man was blasting sixes at the biggest stadiums in the world a month ago.

And he said, no, listen, as much as I love West Indies cricket, I'm going to retire.

And that's it.

Like there was nothing to it.

So people are going to read into it and say, you know,

Could it be with Hope taking over as captain?

Is there a personality clash?

We'll never get to the bottom of it.

But at the end of the day, Mash, from a West Indian fan perspective, we have to sort of grieve this because essentially one of the world's top T20 players has turned his back on the Maroon at the age of 29 at his peak.

That's an immediate thing.

And when you think about it, when you deep it even more,

such a great player the fact we never saw him play test cricket for West Indies he essentially retired from 50 overs age 27 it's a big loss for the game and when we constantly you know bemoan the lack of talent in the region and sort of the development of numbers to have someone of that world-class status you could there's an argument in the current T20 setup Puran's the only world-class player who consistently performs to lose him is a kick in the teeth for West Indies fans and

As I said on the live show, Mash, it's unprecedented.

We've never seen someone retire in their peak, fully turn their back on West Indies cricket.

I mean, we've seen like a Narine and Paulard retire, but that went into their 30s.

For someone to retire at their peak is a madness.
