Kieron Pollard, the West Indies allrounder, has said that the Bangladesh series is a very important one for West Indies and for himself personally. Pollard joined the squad after winning the Champions League T20 with Mumbai Indians, but was ineligible to play in his side's Twenty20 international defeat on Tuesday. He has yet to establish himself as an ODI force, averaging 21.73 from 43 games, and score a one-day hundred.
"Hopefully we can go there and give a good account of ourselves [in ODIs]," he said. "Bangladesh has been very Twenty20 game, but can go either way, he saw the Champions League. Fifty-over games are a test, the nature of each team."
To get the best player in India, Pollard said he was accustomed to conditions which are basically the same throughout the subcontinent. "The wickets here are slow, the wickets of India was slow too. I have played many games in Chennai, where the wicket was slow. So actually it's the same kind of wicket.
"You have to play to the situation, depending on what the Office. As a drummer should be assessed properly."
When asked about the causes of the three windows for the team lost in the T20I, Pollard said it was a combination of factors and that the team has identified what needs fixing. "I think we did that [post mortem] and the kids know where they had made mistakes. I hope we can fix it and come back stronger."
Pollard struggled a bit in the Champions League, despite being the largest sensor switch for your computer. He made half a century and an average of only 20.50 in six games, but said he still feels confident when he comes to bat.
"I just got out of a tournament and did not score much, but it's a new day and anything can happen. You never know. I can score three hundred against Bangladesh."
Bangladesh left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak said winning the T20I had given his team the advantage mentally and that he hoped one-dayer was played on the same fence, which corresponds to the closing of the way his team plays . He was also looking forward to bowling with the new ball. Each team will have two new balls to start the game under new conditions of the ICC to play, which came into force on 1 October.
"I'm used to bowl with the new ball," Razzak said. "I think it helps because there is no shine and the seam is visible. With the Kookaburra [ball], spinners get help when the ball is more recent."
