Trinbago Knight Riders pick Under-23 pair to finalise 2024 squad

FOUR-TIME Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League champions Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) have added Nathan Edward and Shaqkere Parris to finalise their 17-man squad for this year's tournament, which bowls off on August 29. The draft was held on July 15.

Edward, 19, and Parris, 21, have been chosen as emerging players (Under-23). The CPL has a rule that all teams must have two emerging players in their team.

Both players are former West Indies Under-19 players. Edward, born in St Maarten, is an all-rounder who bats left-handed and bowls left-arm pace.

Parris is a right-handed batsman from Barbados.

Most of TKR's players from last year have returned with the likes of TT players Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine, Nicholas Pooran, Akeal Hosein and Dwayne Bravo on the team. Jamaican Andre Russell is also a returning player and Englishman Jason Roy and Australian Tim David were signed earlier this year.
