Defending champions St.Lucia Kings secured the signing of Royal Challengers Bengaluru big-hitter and Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) winner Tim David in the player draft for the upcoming season of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL 2025) which took place earlier today (June 18).
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians all-rounder Corbin Bosch was roped in by the St.Kitts and Nevis Patriots. Another MI talent, Bevon Jacobs, who plays for their ILT20 franchise MI Emirates was picked up by the Antigua and Barbados Falcons.
For the unversed, the CPL 2025 draft also introduced a new rule – the final three rounds were reserved for players from the West Indies Breakout League, a development tournament launched earlier this year by Cricket West Indies (CWI). Additionally, teams must field at least one of these drafted players in every match during the season. This initiative mirrors the Emerging Player system in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), emphasising youth development.
Apart from that, several notable trades have already took place previously, including Jason Holder’s move from Barbados Royals to St Kitts & Nevis Patriots. The Patriots also acquired Alick Athanaze from the Royals in exchange for Sherfane Rutherford.
The CPL 2025 season will run from August 14 to September 21, concluding with the final in late September.
