West Indies explosive All Rounder Rovman Powell all set to become captain of the Team in white ball format. He recalls pearls of advice made by his Physical Education (PE) teacher on his career.
“He saw me play cricket, he watched me over a period of time. One time I turned up for track and field training and he said, ‘May this be the last time you come for track and field training.’ I had a shock. He said to me, ‘You can play cricket so good, track and field is not your calling.’ He told me that if I ever come back to track and field, he would beat me!” shared Powell.
“If you have your energy in two different places, you don’t get to focus on one thing the way you want to focus on it. So maybe it was a blessing in disguise,” added Powell.

“He (Brian Lara) was everything people talked about. I watched a lot of Brian Lara growing up,” told Powell.
