Yesterday, the Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) confirmed their retained Caribbean players ahead of the 2023 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL), with last year’s skipper Shimron Hetmyer being among nine players.

Hetmyer, who had a decent season with the Rajasthan Royals in the just concluded TATA IPL, leads a pack that comprises Odean Smith, Romario Shepherd, Shai Hope, Keemo Paul, Chandrapaul Hemraj, Gudakesh Motie, Matthew Nandu and Junior Sinclair.
Hetmyer made 299 runs from 14 games for the Royals, averaging 37 and striking at 151.

CPL 2023 gets underway on August 16 with the final taking place on September 24 in Guyana.
In addition, there will be matches in Barbados, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago.
The overseas players and draft picks will be announced during the Republic Bank CPL draft show, which will be broadcast at the end of this month.
