CPL 2020 | Trinbago Knight Riders snap up Pravin Tambe ahead of CPL 2020

Following that, with the ongoing Caribbean Premier League draft, sister franchise, Trinbago Knight Riders snapped the leggie for the 2020 season of the competition. The Mumbai spinner will become the first Indian name to be on the list of players in the CPL, with BCCI having a strict policy that prevents players from playing other competitions while still being active on the Indian circuit. His performance in the last year’s T10 edition, where he picked up a hattrick, alongside his experience prompted his sale in the league. 

Apart from the veteran, Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan and New Zealand’s Ross Taylor too were snapped quickly by Barbados Trident and Guyana Amazon Warriors respectively. With Chris Gayle’s absence from the competition, St Lucia Zouks have signed the South African pair of Anrich Nortje and Rilee Rossouw. The defending champions of the CPL, Tridents, also acquired the English opener Alex Hales and Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis ahead of their title defence. The competition is set to kick-off on August 18, with the Windies cricketing board planning to host the tournament as per schedule, as the final would be played on September 10.
