… no places for Amazon Warriors and St Kitts & Nevis players

JOHNSON Charles of St Lucia Kings and Kyle Mayers of Barbados Royals were among the 12-man 2022 Hero CPL Team-of-the-Tournament released yesterday.
Noticeably absent, however, is Brandon King of Jamaica Tallawahs, who is the second highest run-scorer in the tournament and one of only three men who have scored hundreds in this year’s tournament.

Also, no Guyana Amazon Warriors player was named in the 12-man squad as was the case of St Kitts and Nevis Patriots team.
The team that was picked by the Hero CPL commentary team – Ian Bishop, Samuel Badree, Daren Ganga, Simon Doull and Danny Morrison, also includes South Africa’s Faf du Plessis, who captained the Kings and Tallawahs captain Rovman Powell.

In fact, players from Kings and Tallawahs dominated the selection with only Sunil Narine of four-time champions Trinbago Knight Riders among the selectees, while apart from Mayers, only Jason Holder was selected among the 11 from the Barbados Royals.However, the selection panel picked the Royals’ Ramon Simmonds as the 12th man as a result of his impressive performances throughout the tournament.

Simmonds is one of the 12 emerging players in the Hero CPL squads and has been an important part of Barbados Royals team in 2022.
