West Indies superstar all-rounder Kieron Pollard has been ruled out of RAM SLAM T20 champions due to an injury in his right knee.
The 28-year-old Pollard suffered the knee injury during Cobras’ match against VKB Knights at Boland Park on Sunday.
He scored unbeaten 23 off 12 balls to help his team win and reach the third position in the points table.
Pollard, who was recently part of West Indies’ T20I for the Sri Lanka tour, experienced discomfort during the match itself but continued to play for the sake of his team.
“We are severely disappointed about the loss of a stalwart like Kieron,” said Paul Adams, the Cape Cobras coach.
“Kieron has given his all. The fact that he went out to bat after he got injured, underlines his dedication and commitment to the team. He has been an inspiration to the whole squad.”
