We live, fortunately or unfortunately, in the age of the hustler. Most people, in order to keep growing, focus only on work. However, being productive is only a part of life. One shouldn’t forget that work-life balance is and having ample rest and good eating habits are essential to leading a happy and healthy life. If you happen to be one of those busy people, thinking constantly about work with no time or mental space to think about your diet, we might have something for you.

West Indies white-ball captain Kieron Pollard on Wednesday announced his retirement from international cricket, though he will continue to freelance in private T20 and T10 leagues across the globe.If one tries to sum up Pollard’s international career in a nutshell, he could be termed as a perennial underachiever in maroon jersey. The 34-year-old Pollard, who made his ODI debut back in 2007, fittingly played his last series against India, a country which has become his second home due to his long association with Mumbai Indians“Hi all, after careful deliberation, I have decided to retire from international cricket. It was a dream of mine to play for West Indies since I was a 10-year-old boy, and I am proud to represent the West Indies for over 15 years in T20 and ODI format of the game,” Pollard announced on his official Instagram page. While he is a feared T20 cricketer, one of the finest that the world has seen, his numbers for the West Indies remain underwhelming with only 2706 runs at just above 26 and 55 wickets from 123 ODI along with 1569 runs from 101 T20Is at an average of shade over 25. He also took 44 wickets. He did have his problems against slower bowlers and later, as the teams did their homework, the wide would be effectively used to stop his exploits. While the highlight of his international career would be hitting six sixes off Akira Dananjaya in a T20I — third to do so after Herschel Gibbs and Yuval Singh. He was a part of the 2012 ICC T20 World Cup winning West Indies squad. He never played Test cricket. While he had three hundreds in ODI's, Pollard was never the same player for the West indies as he has been for Mumbai Indians or for that matter the other franchises for which he has plied his trade during all these years.
