West Indies Left Arm Seamer Sheldon Cottrell celebrates every dismissal of his with a short march and a
salute to the pavilion as a tribute to the Jamaican Armed Forces.
He is a
Jamaican Defence Force soldier.
“It’s a military-style salute. I’m a soldier by profession. Me saluting is just to show my respect to the Jamaica Defence Force,” he quoted to the BBC earlier this year.
“I do it every time I get a wicket. I practised it for six months when I was training in the army,” he further added.
Cottrell even trained a group of children and taught them his famous army salute when some members of the West Indies cricket team helped take an ICC Cricket4Goodcoaching clinic in Nottingham on Tuesday June 04,2019
Cottrell has taken 20 wickets in 15 innings for the West Indies in ODI cricket at an impressive strike rate of 33.
