3 Players who could replace Nicholas Pooran in West Indies squad after his retirement
Nicholas Pooran announced his retirement from international cricket on Tuesday, June 10, at the age of 29.
2. Amir Jangoo
Amir Jangoo is also a left-handed wicketkeeper-batter like Nicholas Pooran. The southpaw was recently part of the West Indies side, which was whitewashed by England. Jangoo has played one Test and five ODIs so far. He scored a brilliant century in his ODI debut against Bangladesh in St Kitts in December 2024. His unbeaten 104 off 83 balls helped the Caribbean side chase down a 322-run target with ease.
Jangoo was the highest run-getter in the Super50 Cup 2024-25, the West Indies' premier domestic 50-over tournament. He scored 446 runs in seven innings at an average of 89.20 and a strike rate of 86.77. Jangoo can become a reliable wicketkeeper-batter, at least in white-ball cricket for the Windies.
