  • PowettPlay Podcast: West Indies T20 Series vs England, Pooran Retires & West Indies Test Squad

    In this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, West Indies star Kieran Powell and Jordan Shannon break down the 3rd T20 International between West Indies and England, which ended in another defeat for the hosts leaving them winless in the white-ball series.

    Kieran shares his expert insights on the performance of Rovman Powell, who he believes is playing with intent and fire, as if he’s out to prove a point. He also highlights the positive signs in Shai Hope’s strike rate in the last T20. With just 8 months until the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, there’s plenty for the West Indies to reflect on.
    Jordan also presses Kieran for his reaction to Nicholas Pooran’s retirement from international cricket, and Kieran reveals it may have been expected but echoes Daren Sammy’s concern that more retirements could follow. With a World Cup approaching, the timing is critical.
    The duo wraps up by reacting to the newly announced West Indies Test squad, where Kieran voices strong views on the omission of Kemar Roach, saying he deserved a farewell Test in Barbados in front of his home fans after his years of loyal service.
