Why did Nicholas Pooran retire from international cricket at 29?
Luokka, what is the easiest way to get home? Building snow? Decorating the kitchen? Or starting at the grocery store? Decorating the kitchen, of course.
What are the reactions to Pooran's retirement announcement?
Wrong answer, Valter. The easiest way is starting at the grocery store. Well... We made starting at the grocery store easy. S-Kaupat, Finland's most popular online grocery store. Remember to take a look. When we were going on a winter holiday, we were in a sleeping car in the train. And there was also a food truck, from which we got all the food and also ice cream. Then I went on an adventure in different trucks, and there was another child. He was also going on a winter holiday, and I thought that we would probably have friends when we both like snowboarding. It was a really nice trip.
How does Pooran's decision reflect on West Indies cricket?
Freedom travels on rails. VR. On a common journey.
This is Kimo Roach, and I listen to the Caribbean Cricket Podcast.
Yes, yes, yes, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another edition of the Caribbean Cricket Podcast. I'm on half the Caribbean Cricket Podcast, Bachelor St. Patrick here, and with me as ever is my partner in crime, Santolki Nagilendran. Santolki, how you doing?
Yeah, all good, Mash. And as we're recording this on Tuesday, the 10th of June, we're watching England dish out more licks to the West Indies side in the T20 format. Scored 200-plus, big run going. West Indies are about to do a chase. One man missing from the line-up, and who will be missing from future West Indies line-up, is Nicolas Pouran. the icon himself obviously yesterday there was breaking news reverberated not only across the region but across the world nicholas paul and has retired from international cricket age 29 years old now mash obviously you done a live show yesterday two hours you know talking the talk on mainly poor and had people coming in i jumped on for a 10 minute sort of slot but that was sort of initial
reactions we've had time to process it now 24 hours later so we're here as always ccp to deep dive into what this means what this reflects on nicholas pooran what this means for west indies cricket where do we go from here and talk the talk so firstly mash now you've had 24 hours to process it where do you sort of stand on everything regarding pooran throwing a towel in before the age of 30.
What are the implications of Pooran's retirement for his legacy?
So I'm torn, Santolki. I'm torn because I think last night when I did the live show, I was trying to be measured. And I was probably trying to be diplomatic as well, because the easy thing to do would be to get on and cuss and say, nah, how dare he and so on and so forth. But I was trying to just understand that. At the same time, I was trying to understand the rationale from his point of view. Why would he do this? Why does it make sense, et cetera? So what I'm going to say to you is this. I am completely caught between two viewpoints here. Viewpoint one is... you and I have been saying for the longest while, man's going to retire. So it feels hypocritical based on that to suddenly turn around and get vexed about it and say, why has man retired?
Because you and I discussed this privately. We've come on this podcast many a time and said, boy, Puran might retire, you know, and he's going to go get that T20, sign that contract with an IPL franchise and just be with them for the whole year, like being in a club football team, et cetera. So on one hand,
What factors influenced Pooran's decision to leave international cricket?
Can't knock it. Totally get it. It's just the way that international cricket is going, particularly for the teams and players who are outside the big three, who can't afford to pay players two million a year to tie them down to long term contracts. That's one side. The other side of it, and I think two things can be correct at the same time. The other side of it is it's still disrespectful. And let me explain why I say it's still disrespectful, Santolki, because he's not retiring at 33, 34, 35, 36. He's retiring in his prime. Nicholas Puram is widely recognized as one of the biggest box office T20 stars in the world, right? And in spite of what his press release says, No matter how you twist it, no matter how you bend it, he's effectively saying in that press release, I don't care about West Indies cricket.
