Players should use the break to introspect: Pollard

The Coronavirus outbreak has led to the cancellation and postponement of all sports activities across the world. Pollard said it is a good time to reflect on his own game. “It is a good time for introspection, a good time for reflection, a good time to look at where you are as an individual in your career and what you want to achieve going forward,” he was quoted as saying by Jamaica Gleaner.

Pollard, who was ruled out of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) due to a niggle in his right thigh early this month, said it is time to work on his fitness and prepare for the season ahead. “You have to take this time to keep yourself in good physical shape, and mentally as well, because when the bell rings and they say ‘ok, everything is back to normal and we need to go on tour’, it might not be enough time to be prepared. But, you as an individual have to be prepared,” he said.

Cricket West Indies (CWI) had recently delayed the domestic season by a month in the wake of the deadly disease.
