Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) skipper Nicholas Pooran has thrown his full support behind veteran all-rounder Kieron Pollard’s criticism of persistent jeers from Caribbean fans.

He described the behaviour as “really disappointing” even as the Trinidad-based franchise celebrated their record-extending fifth Caribbean Premier League (CPL) title on Sunday night.

Pooran, coach Dwayne Bravo and stand-in West Indies T20 captain Akeal Hosein were part of the TKR contingent that had the Piarco International Airport arrival terminal buzzing yesterday on a day the country also welcomed home World Athletic Championships javelin champion Keshorn Walcott and silver medallist in the 400m Jereem Richards.
