Corey Anderson replaces James Franklyn
Leon Johnson and Robin Bacchus will get a chance to play in their first ever Caribbean Premier League (CPL) when this year’s T20 tournament starts on July 10.
The Guyanese pair has been selected for the Guyana Amazon Warriors which lost to the Jamaica Tallawahs in the inaugural Final last year while 23-year-old New Zealand left-arm fast bowling all-rounder Corey Anderson replaces fellow New Zealand all-rounder James Franklyn and Navin Stewart replaces fellow Trinidadian William Perkins.
In addition to Franklyn and Perkins, the injured Ramnaresh Sarwan, who led the Warriors last year, Narsingh Deonarine, Sri Lankans Tillakaratne Dilshan and Lasith Malinga who replaced Mohammed Hafeez before the semi-finals, have not been retained by the Guyana franchise.
Sunil Narine, Mohammad Hafeez, Lendl Simmons, Denesh Ramdin, Martin Guptill and Krishmar Santokie have all retained their places as have Guyanese players Trevon Griffith, Christopher Barnwell, Veerasammy Permaul, Steven Jacobs and Ronsford Beaton.
Four Under-19 players will be added to each team shortly while dropped Guyana leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo has not been retained by the Barbados Tridents who have kept Kieron Pollard who missed the World T20 in Bangladesh due to injury.
The Jamaica Tallawahs have kept faith in crowd puller Chris Gayle despite his indifferent form for the West Indies in the recent World T20 in which the Caribbean side lost on the Duckworth/Lewis system to Sri Lanka in yesterday’s semi-final.
The teams: Guyana Amazon Warriors: Sunil Narine, Mohammad Hafeez, Lendl Simmons, Denesh Ramdin, Martin Guptill, Krishmar Santokie, Christopher Barnwell, Veerasammy Permaul, Ronsford Beaton, Navin Stewart, Steven Jacobs, Leon Johnson, Robin Bacchus, Corey Anderson and Trevon Griffith.
