BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – International players Narsingh Deonarine, Kirk Edwards and Ryan Hinds headed the list of imported draft choices, when the Player Draft of the WICB Professional Cricket League took place today here.

Deonarine, Edwards and Hinds were the three eye-catching picks, as selectors from each of the six franchises were stipulated for the second edition of the Draft to pick a minimum of two players from outside of their home territory, unlike the inaugural edition last year.

Deonarine, the Guyanese left-handed batsman, who also bowls off-spin, is expected to be a big boost for the Leeward Islands Hurricanes which finished last in the six-team Regional 4-Day Tournament and failed to reach the knockout stages of the NAGICO Super50 Tournament.
