The players’ draft for the 2021 edition of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) took place on Friday, where franchisees picked quite a few big names in the world of cricket.

The main headline in the draft process was South African all-rounder Chris Morris, who is set for his CPL debut after being selected by the Barbados Tridents.

Sri Lanka star leg-spin all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga was picked by St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, which will feature big fishes like Chris Gayle and Dwayne Bravo for the upcoming season.

Nepal wrist-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane had represented Jamaica Tallawahs in the previous season. However, in the forthcoming edition, Sandeep will play for the reigning champions Trinbago Knight Riders, which will be captained by West Indies limited-overs skipper Kieron Pollard. Knight Riders signed Sandeep as a like-for-like swap for Fawad Ahmed.

Afghanistan stars Rashid Khan and Mujeeb ur Rahman, who played for Guyana Amazon Warriors in CPL 2020, will not be seen in action as they shall be on international duty. The list also features Mohammad Nabi, who represented St Lucia Zouks in the last season.
