Queen\u2019s Park Cricket Club stalwarts Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard, and Sunil Narine were honored at Queen\u2019s Park Oval in Trinidad ahead of a CPL match between the Trinbago Knight Riders and the Guyana Amazon Warriors, where the Trini Posse Stand was renamed the Bravo, Pollard, Narine Stand.<\/p>\n

The trio, members of the West Indies\u2019 2012 T20 World Cup-winning team, were recognized for their outstanding T20 careers.\n<\/p>\n

Bravo is a former record-holder for T20 wickets, Pollard is the format\u2019s leading run-scorer, and Narine is the CPL\u2019s all-time leading wicket-taker and second on the overall T20 wicket-taking list.<\/p>\n

Bravo spoke about his strong connection to the club, while recalling his role in West Indies\u2019 T20 World Cup triumphs in 2012 and 2016.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a club that I joined when I was eight years old,\u201d Bravo shared, \u201cThirty-four years of my life, I spent in this club. This club means a lot to me. It\u2019s the only club I represent. It\u2019s the only club I am proud to say is the best club in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

His father, John, proudly witnessed the honor and said it would inspire the next generation.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, that\u2019s a great achievement, and I hope that he continues with his success,\u201d John said. \u201cIt\u2019s a good achievement for them [young players] to watch and see what\u2019s going on, put their minds to it, settle, and see what they want in life. Nothing is impossible to achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pollard expressed his gratitude for the honor, despite missing the West Indies\u2019 2016 T20 World Cup triumph due to injury.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cAs three young individuals coming from where we come from, we stand here, very proud of this moment,\u201d Pollard said.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see these guys, and it has been a lot of hard work, a lot of dedication, a lot of discipline, and we could not have been; this could not have happened without the support of each and every one of you,\u201d Pollard added.<\/p>\n

Narine, who also missed the 2016 World Cup campaign, also thanked Queen\u2019s Park for the honor.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is still something that I will cherish, probably one of the special days in my life, being able to have a stand with coaching staff, coaches, and Pollard as well,\u201d Narine said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kieron Pollard.
