REUTERS: West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard has been named as the new captain of their one-day international and Twenty20 teams, the country's cricket board said on Monday.
"In the short term as captain, the immediate aim is to defend the T20 World Cup," Pollard, 32, said. West Indies will be defending their T20 World Cup title next year in Australia."One of the discussions I hope to have is to bring back the idea of specialists playing in their best positions," he added.
The once mighty West Indies, who won the first two editions of the World Cup during the 1970s, finished ninth in the 10-team standings at this year's tournament, winning only two of their nine matches.
