Players’ draft timing– 9 AM ECT, 1 PM GMT, 6:30 PM IST.

“This is a six-hitting masterclass from TKR,” screamed Ian Bishop from the commentary box after Lendl Simmons muscled Scott Kuggeleijn for a humongous six over deep mid-wicket. It was St Lucia Zouks’ maiden stint in a Caribbean Premier League final, and Trinbago Knight Riders came back from behind and dashed their hopes at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad.

Back on September 2020, TKR won by eight wickets. Phew! More than eight and half months and it seems like yesterday when Darren Bravo inside-edged one off speedster Kesrick Williams and led the Knight Riders to glory. It remains a mystery as to how Kieron Pollard’s men won the trophy without losing a single match in the tournament.

The focus now shifts to the 2021 CPL and teams have already started their preparations after announcing their retentions, releases, trades and some fresh buys. The tournament starts on August 28 with all the 33 matches to take place in St Kitts and Nevis, the home of the Patriots, who finished at the bottom of the points table last season with one win from 10 matches.

With three months before action kicks off at the Warner Park, it’s time for the players’ draft on Friday, May 28, where the squads will be revealed. Fasten your seat belts as it’s gonna be a exciting journey as we take you through the squads of the six participating teams in the championship.
