In a match towards St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, Trinbago was compelled to play with simply 10 gamers, with merely two exterior the 30-yard circle, throughout their ultimate bowling over as a result of a tardy over-rate.
The CPL launched the pink card as a part of their efforts to expedite sluggish over-rates.
Pollard initially needed to place an extra fielder contained in the ring for the 18th over and subsequently one other needed to be pulled in from the boundary in the course of the penultimate over, leading to solely three outfield gamers.
Despite these measures, Trinbago remained behind the required scoring charge getting into the ultimate over. Spinner Sunil Narine needed to go away the sphere as a consequence of those circumstances.
“To be honest, it will take away the hard work everyone has done,” Pollard mentioned.
“We are like the pawns and we are going to do what we are told.
“We are going to play as quick as we are able to. If you might be penalised for 30-45 seconds in a event like this, it’s completely ridiculous.”
Despite the ultimate over of the Patriots’ innings costing Trinbago’s Dwayne Bravo 18 runs, it didn’t show essential.
Pollard, Nicholas Pooran and Andre Russell made brief work of a 179-run goal with 17 balls spare.
