This collaboration aims to inspire and empower young cricketers both on and off the field, a release by bmobile stated on Monday.
Currently playing for the Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) in the 2024 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL), Pooran, 28, hopes to secure his first-ever CPL title while using his new role with bmobile to inspire future athletes.
