In a significant ceremony held on November 12 at the Ministry of Foreign and Caricom Affairs headquarters in St Clair, Trinidad and Tobago, cricket icons Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard were officially appointed as national sports ambassadors. The event was presided over by Minister Sean Sobers, who emphasized the government’s dedication to recognizing exceptional national athletes whose accomplishments inspire citizens and elevate the country’s global profile. This initiative aligns with the government’s broader strategy to honor outstanding sports figures, as previously announced by Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs Phillip Watts on September 4. Bravo, who recently led the Trinbago Knight Riders to victory in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) on September 21, has been instrumental in promoting Trinidad and Tobago’s sporting excellence. The team’s triumph over the Guyana Amazon Warriors in the final match in Providence, Guyana, was celebrated by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, who hosted the champions at the Diplomatic Centre in St Ann’s on September 23. During the event, Persad-Bissessar also named TKR captain Nicholas Pooran, Pollard, and javelin star Keshorn Walcott as sports ambassadors. While the exact dates for Pooran and Walcott’s official appointments remain undisclosed, the ministry expressed enthusiasm about collaborating with Bravo and Pollard to champion values of excellence, teamwork, and national pride, both domestically and internationally, while enhancing Trinidad and Tobago’s global reputation.
