The CPL 2025 will begin on August 15.
The Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025 franchise, Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR), has appointed Dwayne Bravo as their new Head Coach. His new coaching role comes following his retirement from professional cricket last year.
“It’s an honour to be given the opportunity to be Head Coach of TKR, a team that’s very close to my heart. I would like to personally thank Coach Phill for his time and commitment over the last few years, and now I look forward to this new challenge for me and my staff,” Bravo said on his appointment.
The CPL 2025 will kickstart on August 15. The SKN Patriots will take on Antigua & Barbuda Falcons in the season opener. Bravo’s TKR will square off against SKN Patriots in their campaign opener in Warner Park on Sunday, August 17.
The 41-year-old all-rounder’s experience in the franchise league across the globe makes him a perfect candidate to nurture young talent and guide them to the title. His vast experience, game sense, and understanding of the conditions will be crucial.
Since his retirement, the West Indies legend has been instrumental in developing young talent. Recently, he served as a mentor for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Earlier, he was the bowling coach for his former franchise, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), from 2023-24.
He is currently with the Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR) in Major League Cricket (MLC) as Head Coach. Last year, he was appointed the head coach of Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in the ILT20.
