Kieron Pollard, Nicholas Pooran, Trent Boult, and Dwayne Bravo are a portion of the great profile names to be endorsed by MI Emirates for the debut season of UAE’s International League T20.
The squad will be situated in Abu Dhabi and included a blend of current and past MI players. The players will decorate MI’s famous blue and gold among the others.
The players have been endorsed according to the association rules and the neighborhood players from UAE will be added to the squad soon.
“I am delighted with our dynamic group of 14 players that will be part of our #Onefamily and represent ‘MI Emirates’. We are glad to have one of our key pillars, Kieron Pollard continues with the MI Emirates. Joining us back are Dwayne Bravo, Trent Boult, and Nicholas Pooran,”
said Akash Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Jio in an official statement.
“A very warm welcome to all players of MI Emirates. MI is known to strike a balance between experience and investing in young talent to unlock their true potential which will help us play the MI way. This is what fans expect from us and will drive the MI ethos forward,”
he added.
Recently, New Zealand Cricket affirmed that it has consented to let pacer Trent Boult out of his central contract so that he can spend more time with his family, while also making himself accessible for domestic leagues.
The 33-year-old quick bowler had requested the release after a few discussions with NZC. On Wednesday, the board finally agreed to the arrangements.
“The move means Boult, who has taken 317 Test wickets, 169 at ODI level, and 62 in T20I cricket, will have a significantly reduced role with the BLACKCAPS during his final years in the game, while still being eligible for selection if and when available,”
stated an official release issued by NZC.
