ESPNcricinfo presents the Best XI of CPL 2016, while adhering to the four-overseas-players rule. Jamaica Tallawahs lead the way, with three players in the XI 

1. Johnson Charles - 441 runs, 143.18 strike rateAfter a relatively modest start to the season, Charles caught fire on the St Lucia Zouks' home leg, scoring 341 runs at an average of 56.83 over the final seven games of the season to put them in the CPL playoffs for the first time in four seasons. He finished as the second-highest run-scorer, after Chris Lynn.

2. Chris Gayle (capt)- 425 runs, 155.67 strike rateChris Gayle blew hot and cold throughout the season, but was positively scorching when he got going. He made the most of a dropped chance on 5 against Trinbago Knight Riders to score the highest score of the season, 108 not out. He ended up third overall on the run charts, while leading Jamaica Tallawahs to their second CPL title.
