CPL 2021: Jamaica Tallawahs Player Retention List

2 times Caribbean Premier League Champions Jamaica Tallawahs announced their retentions for the 2021 edition of CPL which will kick start on August 28 in St Kitts & Nevis, after a busy home series schedule featuring South Africa, Australia and Pakistan.

West Indies will feature in 15 T20Is during this period playing 5 T20Is each against their opponents.

Jamaica Tallawahs retained only 7 players from their previous season. The retentions included USA leg spinner Ryan Persaud in the team. Persaud is  ICC Americas player from last season. The other spinner retained is Veerassamy Permaul. Afghanistan mystery spinner Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman and Nepal leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhchane who had a great outing last season didn’t make the cut.

Pacer Fidel Edwards who had an impressive show with the team is back for yet another season. He is the only specialist pacer who made the cut as Oshane Thomas got dropped from the squad.

The Tallawahs have retained West Indies all-rounders Andre Russell and Carlos Brathwaite. Last year’s skipper Rovman Powell is back as well with top-order batsman Chadwick Walton.

Jamaica Tallawahs now have 10 spots to fill to complete their squad with the draft likely to be in the end of May.

Jamaica Tallawahs Squad:

Andre Russell, Carlos Brathwaite, Rovman Powell, Chadwick Walton, Fidel Edwards, Veerasammy Permaul, Ryan Persaud.
