Kieron Pollard joins MI Emirates as their wildcard signing for ILT20


Kieron Pollard captained MI Emirates last season • ILT20
MI Emirates have announced Kieron Pollard as their wildcard signing for the upcoming season of the ILT20 in the UAE.
Pollard was unveiled as a wildcard alongside Nicholas Pooran last season as well, following the league's inaugural auction. He also took over as captain from Pooran, who was set to play for MI Cape Town in the SA20, with the two leagues overlapping in part. Pollard was MI Emirates' captain for the season.
MI Emirates came close to clinching the ILT20 last season but fell short in the final as Desert Vipers claimed their maiden title.
Pollard is the most capped player in T20 cricket, with 754 appearances, and is 63 runs away from surpassing Jos Buttler as the format's leading run-scorer. He has 14,999 runs at an average of 31.71 and a strike rate of 150.92.
