The West Indian all-rounder retired from international cricket earlier this month after serving the side for 15 long years. 


Pollard, however, is in no mood to call it quits in franchise/freelance cricket.


He has been playing in PSL, BBL and of course the IPL. 


But now he is eyeing a place in T20 Blast Side. 


As per a report, Pollard is set to sign a contract with Surrey, where Sunil Narine also plays. 


According to ESPNcricinfo, “At least two counties have enquired about Pollard’s availability for the T20 Blast, which runs from May 25 – four days after his IPL franchise, Mumbai Indians, play their final game in this year’s IPL – until July 16.” 


If he is signed by Surrey, then Pollard will be playing for a County side after almost a decade. 


Earlier Pollard has played in 2 county seasons for Somerset in 2010 and 2011 respectively and those were successful runs as well. 


Currently, the big West Indian is having a bad run in the ongoing IPL 2022 with just 115 runs from 8 matches and 3 wickets. 


Mumbai Indians hav been winless so far this season and Pollard's poor form has been a big reason for this miserable run of his side.
