It was unacceptable, we accept that: Pollard after dismal performance 

West Indies captain Kieron
Pollard says that they’re not panicking despite their poor show against England
in their first match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 in Dubai on Saturday
(October 23). 
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/eng-vs-wi--24_10_2021.jpg">West Indies were all-out for only
55 runs in which only Chris Gayle (13 off 13 balls) touched the double-digit
score. Not only in this match, but the Caribbean also showed poor batting
performance in the warm-up matches against Pakistan and Afghanistan.
However, the Caribbean captain says
that as they play in different parts of the world, so this kind of experience
is nothing new for them and they know how to move on from here.
<blockquote>"It was unacceptable, we
accept that. These sorts of games sometimes, we just need to bin it. For us,
it's just a matter of finding our straps. We haven't batted well in our three
games so far. We went out, guys tried to play their shots, and it didn't come
off. </blockquote>
“I don't think any sort of panic
will come into our camp. It is what it is, we just need to take it on our chest
and move on, this is international sport. Obviously, we play a lot of cricket
around the world, and this is not the first time something like this has
happened. We've played cricket around the world, and we have the experience of
games like this,” Pollard said.
West Indies bowled very well
despite a very small total and Akeal Hosein, who was included in the squad in
replace of injured Fabian Allen, was instrumental with bowling. Pollard also
applauds the spinner much. “Getting an opportunity because of the injury to
Fabian Allen. Everything happens for a reason, and Akeal Hosein showed us what
he can do,” Pollard added. 
West Indies will face South
Africa in their second match on October 26 at the same ground.

West Indies dismissed for 55 as they lose to England for the first time in T20 World Cup

Spinners domination and good
bowling display from all the England bowlers have helped them to beat West
Indies by 6 wickets for the first time in T20 World Cup history on Saturday
(October 23) in Dubai.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/england-23_10_2021.jpg">England bundled out the Caribbean
only for 55 runs which they chased down with 11.4 overs and 6 wickets in hand. 
On a really difficult pitch,
England bowlers dominated from the start which showed in West Indies’ innings
as only one batsman- Chris Gayle (13 off 13 balls) touched the double-digit
score. Spinner Moeen Ali started the show for England and another spinner Adil
Rashid ended the show. In middle, the pacers took the other wickets.
Rashid’s bowling figure, 2.2-0-2-4,
was just magnificent. Moeen and Tymal Mills took 2 wickets while Chris Woakes
and Chris Jordan picked up one wicket each. 
England also struggled to chase the target but the target was too small for West Indies to fight back in the
game. Opener Jos Buttler remains unbeaten on 24 runs off 22 balls. Spinner
Akeal Hosein got two wickets, Ravi Rampaul took one wicket while the other one
was run-out.
Scorecard:
West Indies 55/10 in 14.2 overs
(Gayle 13, Hetmyer 9; Rashid 4/2, Moeen 2/17)
England 56/4 in 8.2 overs
(Buttler 24*, Roy 11; Akeal 2/24, Rampaul 1/14)
England won by 6 wickets

Akeal replaces injuren Allen in West Indies T20 World Cup squad

Caribbean cricketer Fabian Allen
has been ruled out of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 due to injury. Cricket West
Indies (CWI) has included Akeal Hosein in the squad as his replacement.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/akeal-hossain-20_10_2021.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">On the eve of their first match
in the T20 World Cup, Allen injured his ankle. For now, he will have to be out
of the field for several days. CWI, therefore, picked a replacement for Allen. The
technical committee of the T20 World Cup has approved the application to
include Akeal in the team.
"I know Fabian was really
looking forward to playing in this World Cup, so it is very disappointing that
he is forced to miss out," Roger Harper, West Indies' chief selector said.
"His all-round capabilities will be missed by the team. I would like to
wish him a full and speedy recovery and look forward to him being available for
squad selection in the near future."
Left-arm spinner Akeal was in the
squad as a standby player. As a result, no quarantine will be needed for him to
join the squad. He had been in great form for Trinbago Knight Riders in the
Caribbean Premier League (CPL) this year.
The 28-year-old cricketer has
played 9 ODIs and 6 T20Is for the West Indies so far. The Caribbeans are
currently training in Abu Dhabi for the T20 World Cup.

Watch: Akeal takes a magnificent one-handed catch to dismiss Pooran in CPL 2021

It is no secret that the franchise cricket leagues have amplified the entertainment quotient for fans all across the world. Batsmen, bowlers and fielders have doubled their efforts to get the flow going.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/akeal-hosein-02_09_2021.jpg">Now, the 2021 edition of the Caribbean Premier League has already witnessed some terrific scenes on the field.

The match saw both teams giving everything from the start till the end. The match ended in a tie and thus we witnessed the first Super Over of this season. The defending champions posted a tricky total of 138/9 in 20 overs.&nbsp;Colin Munro was the pick of the batsmen as he scored 32 off 28 balls with the help of 2 fours and 2 sixes. On the other hand, Romario Shepherd was the pick of the bowlers for Guyana Amazon Warriors as he accounted for 3 dismissals and also bowled a maiden over.It is not that easy to bowl six straight dot balls in a T20 game but Romario was clinical enough to pull off the trick. Amazon Warriors gave everything in the run-chase and went on to equal the opposition's score. The Warriors won the Super Over in style.Akeal Hosein takes a stunner to dismiss Nicholas PooranDuring the run-chase, Warriors' captain Nicholas Pooran was at his fluent best with the bat. The southpaw scored 27 runs off 14 balls including 2 fours and 2 sixes. Since no player supported him, Pooran took the onus on himself and went about his business.During the process, he smashed Ravi Rampaul's delivery in search of a boundary in the 18th over but his shot lacked enough elevation. Meanwhile, Akeal Hosein who was patrolling near the boundary rope jumped and took a one-handed catch.Watch the video:<iframe width="400px" height="345px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IsavsOCfXyM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""> </iframe>Romario Shepherd was named the Man of the Match for his fabulous contribution. He registered 3/24 in his quota of 4 overs. Apart from that, he scored 18 off 9 balls including 2 sixes and a four."The coach told me before I went to bat that I'd bowl the over. I asked them once again during the over, Pooran said that I was going to bowl. I was confident, Pollard was the key wicket, it put them on the back-foot, with 7 needed I backed my strengths. I'm pleased, I'm developing as a batsman, I want to go out there and finish games for my team. Each and every game is important (for us), particularly this game, we didn't want to go 3 games down on the bounce," Romario said at the post-match presentation.

West Indies name 13-man squad for 4th T20I against Proteas

Cricket West Indies have announced their 13-member squad for the upcoming T20I against Proteas. So far, three T20Is have been done and dusted. West Indies won the first game by 8 wickets while Proteas bounced back in the next two games with back-to-back victories.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-168307" src="https://www.bdcrictime.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Screenshot_1-min.jpg" alt="West Indies name 13-man squad for 4th T20I against Proteas" width="892" height="507" />

The visitors won the second fixture by 16 runs and pulled off a heist in the third T20I where they won the game by 1 run. Proteas need to win just 1 game to win the T20I series as well. Earlier, they inflicted a 2-0 clean sweep over the Caribbeans in the two-match Test series.

On the other hand, West Indies need to win the next two games in order to win the T20I series. Meanwhile, CWI announced their 13-men squad where star cricketer Shimron Hetmyer earned his place in the squad alongside left-arm spin bowler Akeal Hosein.

Although initially, he was not part of the initial squad, Hetmyer was brought in as a late replacement for Christopher Henry Gayle in the third T20I. Gayle still remains part of the squad while Jason Holder has been rested in order to make way for Shimron.

Meanwhile, senior selector of West Indies, Roger Harper made it clear that it was their decision to rest Holder to manage his workload. "Jason Holder is out of the squad on planned rest with a view to managing his workload, while Shimron Hetmyer, who was a late replacement for Chris Gayle in the last game, remains in the squad.”

Young spin bowler Kevin Sinclair who had a bad day at the office in the previous game was replace was Akeal Hosein in the West Indies squad. "Kevin Sinclair makes way for Akeal Hosein in keeping with the Selection Panel’s quest to determine our best squad and best XI. The objective remains to win this game and the series," Harper added.

The fourth match is scheduled to be played today at National Cricket Stadium in Grenada. It is a do or die match for the hosts and it remains to be seen whether they would shift gears to remain alive in the series.
<h3>West Indies T20I squad:</h3>

Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced 18 men for the 2021-22 central contracts.

[caption id="attachment_159099" align="aligncenter" width="640"]<img class="size-large wp-image-159099" src="https://www.bdcrictime.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Mayers-celebrates-his-ton-with-Bonner-1024x715.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="447" /> Mayers celebrates his ton with Bonner[/caption]

&nbsp;

Ex-Test captain Jason Holder is the only man with an all-format contract.

Among the newcomers, Joshua Da Silva, Nkrumah Bonner, Kyle Mayers (Test contract) and Akeal Hosein (white-ball contract) have earned contracts. All four had a breakthrough Bangladesh tour earlier this year.

Mayers' case was a historical one, as he scored a debut double hundred to pull-off all-time fifth-highest Test chase in Chattogram. Bonner recently scored his first Test hundred in Sri Lanka series, while Joshua Da Silva has cemented his spot as the wicket-keeper batter. Hosein showed glimpses of hopes in maroon colours.

The number of contracted players in the past season was 22. Roston Chase, Sheldon Cottrell and Shimron Hetmyer are among the ones left out.

"Contracts offered for the 2021-22 period see 18 players being retained, a decrease of four from last year. Jason Holder is the only player to retain his all-format contract due to his strong Test and T20I performances during the evaluation period," CWI selector Roger Harper said.

"There are several new players offered red ball contracts earned by their strong performances during the last period. A number of players were not retained because they did not meet the minimum requirements."

West Indies' next assignments include home series against South Africa and Australia.

Cricket West Indies men's central contracts 2021-22:

All-format: Jason Holder.

Red-ball: Kraigg Brathwaite, Jermaine Blackwood, Nkrumah Bonner, Rahkeem Cornwall, Joshua Da Silva, Shannon Gabriel, Kyle Mayers, Kemar Roach.

White-ball: Kieron Pollard, Fabien Allen, Darren Bravo, Shai Hope, Akeal Hosein, Evin Lewis, Alzarri Joseph, Nicholas Pooran and Hayden Walsh Jr.

Mayers, Bonner win CWI contracts

After an emphatic victory against West Indies in the first ODI at Mirpur, Bangladesh will look for a similar result before heading to Chattogram.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-157784" src="https://www.bdcrictime.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screenshot_296.png" alt="Shakib talks about West Indies team" width="942" height="584" />

Shakib Al Hasan's spin magic ensured Bangladesh bowl out West Indies for a low total and win the series opener. The No.1 ODI all-rounder attained sensational figures of 4/8 in 7.2 overs, the best bowling performance by any Bangladeshi against this opposition.

Hasan Mahmud, the 22-year-old, maintained a good channel in his three-wicket debut. He is likely to be given another chance in the second ODI on Friday.

Despite team's success, the hosts may not be overtly happy with the batting performance as they took 33.5 overs to chase down 123 with four wickets down.

Alzarri Joseph's opening spell and Akeal Hosein good use of tricks were the only notable positives for West Indies. The batting will need more work if they are to level the series and cause a surprise.

Bangladesh are maintaining a six-match winning streak against West Indies in ODIs. The Tigers will also hope for a 10th win in the last 11 bilateral home ODI series as well as third consecutive against the Caribbeans.

The pitch is expected to play better with no forecast of rain. Both teams are playing their first series in ten months and so changes are unlikely to come.

Likely XIs:  

Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal (captain), Liton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah Riyad, Soumya Sarkar, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mustafizur Rahman, Rubel Hossain, Hasan Mahmud

West Indies: Sunil Ambris, Joshua da Silva (wk), Andre McCarthy, Nkrumah Bonner, Jason Mohammed (captain), Rovman Powell, Kyle Mayers, Akeal Hosein, Raymon Reifer, Alzarri Joseph, Chemar Holder

Preview: Bangladesh aim series win vs West Indies

Cricket West Indies (CWI) has named Test and ODI squads for tour of Bangladesh in January-February.

<a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/holder-might-pull-out-of-bangladesh-tour/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Speculations</a> turn out to be true as regular Test and ODI captains Jason Holder and Kieron Pollard have pulled out of the tour.

Darren Bravo, Shamarh Brooks, Roston Chase, Sheldon Cottrell, Evin Lewis, Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer and Nicholas Pooran have made the same decision. Fabian Allen and Shane Dowrich are out with personal reasons.

Kraigg Brathwaite will lead the team in two-match Test series while Jason Mohammed will captain in the three ODIs.

"Kavem Hodge will be on his first tour with the team. He has been around for a few years and has made a case for himself and he now gets his chance. The fact that he also bowls left arm spin has certainly helped his cause. We also have Kyle Mayers and Shayne Moseley, who have both toured with the team to England and New Zealand as reserves, being selected in the Test Squad for the first time. Moseley coming off successful ‘A Team’ games in New Zealand and Mayers who has performed well in each of the CWI regional tournaments and also the CPL, over the last year," CWI lead selector Roger Harper said.

"The absence of several more experienced players has certainly provided an opportunity for the left-handed Kjorn Ottley who has had a good Super50 tournament last year. He will be very keen to make his mark. Tours of Bangladesh are never easy as they always play well in their own conditions. Although a number of the senior players are missing in both formats, I expect our teams to be very competitive. I expect our players to play with purpose, with passion and with the desire to prove that they belong at this level."

West Indies Test squad: Kraigg Brathwaite (captain), Jermaine Blackwood (vice-captain), Nkrumah Bonner, John Campbell, Rahkeem Cornwall, Joshua Da Silva, Shannon Gabriel, Kavem Hodge, Alzarri Joseph, Kyle Mayers, Shayne Moseley, Veerasammy Permaul, Kemar Roach, Raymon Reifer, Jomel Warrican
