Kieron Pollard will turn out for Trinbago Knight Riders, his "home side", for the 2019 edition of the Caribbean Premier League. Pollard, one of West Indies' premier short-format allrounders, has never played for the Trinidad and Tobago franchise in the CPL so far, neither in its earlier Red Steel avatar nor the revamped Knight Riders. He spent five seasons with Barbados Tridents and the last one with St Lucia Stars. This time, for the tournament running from September 4 to October 12, Pollard will be Knight Riders' marquee player.
