About

Player story

Full Name: Nicholas Pooran Born: October 2, 1995 (Trinidad & Tobago) Batting Style: Left-hand bat Role: Wicketkeeper-batsman Teams: West Indies, Trinidad & Tobago, Lucknow Super Giants (IPL), various T20 franchises globally Nicholas Pooran emerged as a schoolboy prodigy , shattering records at a young age before announcing himself on the big stage with a fearless, attacking batting style. A left-handed stroke-maker and capable wicketkeeper , Pooran made headlines at just 16 when he became the youngest player to feature in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) in 2013, scoring a sensational 54 off 24 balls for Trinidad Red Steel. He reinforced his credentials at the 2014 U19 World Cup , where he amassed 303 runs in six matches and was one of the tournament's standout performers. However, a near-fatal car accident and chronic ankle injury shortly after derailed his rise, sidelining him for nearly two years. Pooran returned strongly in the 2016 CPL , scoring 217 runs in eight matches, earning his international debut later that year against Pakistan. But controversy followed when he chose franchise cricket over domestic duties, resulting in a 10-month ban from Cricket West Indies. A career-defining revival came in 2018 at the Global T20 Canada league, where Pooran starred for CWI-B and forced his way back into the West Indies setup. From there, he has grown into one of the West Indies' most dangerous white-ball players, known for his aggressive middle-order hitting, fearless approach, and flexibility in multiple T20 leagues. Pooran continues to be a key figure in modern T20 cricket, combining flair with power, and remains an integral part of West Indies’ limited-overs plans as well as a highly sought-after name in global franchise cricket.
