January 13, 2024. Save the date. That’s when the ILT20 will return to the UAE. And the first move has been made: with our set of 12 retained players going into the second season.&nbsp;List of players retained by MI Emirates for ILT20 season 2:1) Kieron Pollard2) Dwayne Bravo3) Nicholas Pooran4) Trent Boult5) Fazalhaq Farooqi6) Andre Fletcher7) Mohammad Waseem - UAE8) Zahoor Khan - UAE9) Jordan Thompson10) William Smeed11) Mckenny Clarke12) Daniel MousleyFrom our skipper inspirational in Polly, to the wild old master in DJ Bravo, to the deadly swing of Boult, to the pocket-sized dynamo-hitting of Nicky P, our core from 2023 remains the same. As per the ILT20 rules, a maximum of two UAE players could have been retained, and in Mohammad Waseem, the star at the top of the order and Zahoor Khan, the super-efficient death overs specialist, MI Emirates have both departments sorted.&nbsp;The players will continue with the #OneFamily and will adorn the iconic Blue and Gold colours that the fans have come to recognize from the MI franchise.&nbsp;Having made it to the play-offs in season one, there’s enough unfinished business for our boys to execute come season two. It’s time to end the wait.&nbsp;

It was a wonderful campaign. Cut short just when our dream had begun to take shape, sure, but a seriously fun campaign nevertheless.&nbsp;From Pollard tonking the ball around like only he can, to the announcement of Muhammad Waseem to the world, to Pooran and Fletcher performing day in and out, to Imran Tahir doing a Cristiano, to DJ Bravo foxing a few more batters for fun, to every game unearthing a new hero, it was some campaign!&nbsp;As it all came to a close, Kieron Pollard turned out for the press conference, and in his typical style, smacked some questions out of the park. Excerpts ..&nbsp;&nbsp;On what went wrong in this gameThere’s a lot of ifs and buts now. Obviously we ended up on the losing side of it but sometimes situations present themselves where you have to take initiatives. We were struggling a bit, we didn’t start off well with the bat. It has been the tale of the tournament. We’ve had good and bad starts. But today, I think it cost us.&nbsp;&nbsp;How he turned his batting form aroundIt all started at the end of the last IPL when you guys wrote me off. It gave me some opportunity to go back and think what I needed to do. There was a lot of talk about my age. Bear in mind, I am only 35. 38, 39, 40-year-olds are still playing. That gave me that extra motivation. Kieron Pollard loves that motivation factor. So, I leave you guys wanting more.&nbsp;&nbsp;On his chat with Gerhard Erasmus when he walked out to batJust welcoming him to the crease. Told him I was happy to have him here, and I didn’t want him to be there for too long. Just when Rashid was supposed to bowl, he pulled away. All within good spirit. He is a good talent playing in international cricket. For all these players playing in this tournament, for me, it was all about sharing my knowledge and giving them an opportunity to tap into my brains. All good things, and long may it continue for these players going forward.&nbsp;&nbsp;Whether back-to-back games affected the teamThat’s not an excuse and we are not going to use that. We had a very good game yesterday. Coming back today, a lot of these guys have played Test cricket, playing day in and day out. We knew from the outset that if we won yesterday, we’d have to play today. I won’t use that as an excuse. Mental, emotional, nothing like that. I think we were beaten on the day by the better team.&nbsp;&nbsp;On the difference between the Dubai and Sharjah pitchesThat’s what professional sport is about. I am sure you don’t want to know the difference between pitches and what we have to go through in order to come out and perform. That’s not an excuse, that’s not a reason. At the end of the day, you are professional cricketers and you want to see entertainment.&nbsp;Final thoughts on the ILT20 experienceFrom a team perspective, getting here, three other teams could have been in this position but they got knocked out. I thought we had a very good tournament with the squad we had in terms of experience and youth. A couple of guys coming over from England, from West Indies, we were able to blend and share our knowledge and experience with them. I thought it was a good campaign for us in the ILT20. Long may it continue. It is about learning and getting better as individuals. I am sure some of the guys would have taken some knowledge from here and carried on to their different teams.&nbsp;
