Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) are gearing up for the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League with the addition of Nathan Edward and Shaqkere Parris to their final squad. The tournament kicks off on August 29 and the draft took place on July 15.
Both Edward, 19, and Parris, 21, have been selected as emerging players (Under-23) in compliance with the CPL rule that requires teams to have two emerging players in their squad. Both players have previously represented the West Indies Under-19 team, with Edward being an all-rounder from St Maarten who bats left-handed and bowls left-arm pace, while Parris, a Barbadian right-handed batsman.
Among the returning players for TKR are local stars Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine, Nicholas Pooran, Akeal Hosein, and Dwayne Bravo, along with Jamaican all-rounder Andre Russell. New signings for the team include Englishman Jason Roy and Australian Tim David.
