Aye aye, Captain! 

A clean middle-order striker, Nicholas Pooran is one of the world’s most feared batters going around. With the ability to take the bowling on from ball one, no boundary is big enough for our dynamite.

Being a left-hander and a wicket-keeper who can also double up as a superb outfielder, he brings a unique proposition to the table, and with his leadership abilities too, offers a delicious combo!

A child prodigy marked out for bigger things in his teenage years, he created history by becoming the youngest player to be signed up in the Caribbean Premier League back in 2013, followed by an extremely impressive stint in the under-19 World Cup. Also fresh from carrying MI New York to the inaugural MLC title and lighting up the final with arguably his greatest T20 innings, our skip is all set to replicate his legacy in the desert!
