The tall, elegant left-hander struck 117 (18 fours, 1 six) to set the
tone for West Indies at the Shere-Bangla National Stadium, after the
West Indies had lost talismanic opener Chris Gayle.
“I
am very proud of Mr. Powell, he is a humble young man, and he has worked
to get where he is today. I sent him a text telling him congratulations,
and he immediately replied, telling me thanks so much."
“His
parents Jill and Carlisle (the Hon. Carlisle Powell) must be very proud
of their son on this momentous occasion ,” commented the Premier.
According to the West Indies Cricket website
www.windiescricket.com,
Powell deflected questions about becoming a permanent fixture at the top
of the West Indies order.
“I
can't say if I am going ahead of anyone, you will have to ask the
selectors,” said Powell.
“All
I could say is that I am trying to strengthen my case for a place on the
team each and every day we play,” said Powell.
Powell's maiden hundred took place against New Zealand last July (27) at
the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. Kieran now joins Keith
Arthurton as the only Nevisian batsman to score two test hundreds. The
only other centurion is Stuart Williams, who scored a lone century for
the West Indies.
