Pollard who represents Trinidad & Tobago, back home in the West Indies, has chosen to turn out for Mumbai Indians in this year’s edition of the Champions League. Likewise, Mike Hussey has chosen Chennai Super Kings over Perth, and Morne Morkel has opted for Delhi Daredevils over Titans.
Titans will be further depleted, with Faf du Plessis and Albie Morkel choosing to play for the Super Kings; Trinidad & Tobago are set to lose the services of Dwayne Bravo and Sunil Narine to CSK and KKR, respectively. Furthermore, MI and KKR will benefit from the decisions of Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson to represent those teams instead of their home teams from Australia.
A player can qualify to represent more than one team and the rules allow all respective qualifying teams to nominate such a player. However, such nomination comes at a price – the “away” team must pay the “home” team $150,000 for the privilege, as stated by Dean Kino, the Champions League’s director of legal and business affairs.
