'Do your best': Kieron Pollard
"Hey, guys. Just wanted to take this opportunity to wish you guys all the best in this upcoming Test tour in England. All good, it's a dream to play to Test cricket in England. We all know you have that opportunity. You guys have the opportunity to relieve the dreams of many international cricketers", said Kieron Pollard while interacting on a video that was posted by the Windies Cricket on their official Twitter handle.
"Go out there and do your best. Trust your process. You guys have been there for a long while. You guys have gelled together, played together, know each other inside out. So all we can do from the Caribbean here is support you guys. So coach Phil (Simmons), captain Holder (Jason), management staff, and, players. You guys do your best. We are all starving for international cricket and a lot of eyes will be on you guys because there hasn't been cricket in the international arena for months. Go well", the West Indian limited-overs skipper added.
