However, Pollard outdid himself in the second match of the ongoing Caribbean Premier League as the Trinbago Knight Riders' captain took a sensational catch at the boundary ropes to send Alzarri Joseph packing. The former West Indies captain took the catch on the fifth ball of the final over of the innings and it left everyone in awe.
Melbourne Renegades announced on Wednesday that the West Indies skipper Hayley Matthews has signed with the club for the eighth season of the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL).

Matthews has played 133 international matches and is one of the world's best all-rounders, sitting in the top five of the ICC's T20I and ODI rankings. It has been a big year for the hard-hitting top-order batter and off-spin bowler, who was appointed as the Windies' new skipper and led Barbados at the Commonwealth Games.

The call was made by the match referee Richie Richardson even after allowances for the slow rate were considered.
