He said that although he intended to continue playing for a few more years, discussions with the Mumbai Indians forced him to retire from the IPL. “It was not the easiest decision to make as I intended to continue playing for a few more years, but after discussions with Mumbai Indians. I have decided to call time on my IPL career,” said Pollard.
"I understand that this wonderful franchise, which has achieved so much needs a transition and if I am not going to play for MI anymore, I cannot see myself playing against MI, 'once an MI always an MI'."
