Touted as a prospect in his teens, Pooran represented the West Indies at the 2014 U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup, before making his senior international debut two years later in a T20I against Pakistan.
An ODI debut in 2018 followed, and the left-hander was named in the West Indies Cricket World Cup 2019 squad.
He was named vice-captain for the Caribbean side for the 2021 Men’s T20 World Cup, and took the captaincy reins in both white-ball formats across a six-month period in 2022, which included the team’s Men’s T20 World Cup campaign.
