The three T&T Red Force players who were taken off the retainer contract programme by the T&T Cricket Board (TTCB) can be back on contract but only after August 4, 2016.

Red Force captain Rayad Emrit, all rounder Kevon Cooper and opener Evin Lewis all had their retainer with the Red Force discontinued after they decided to go to Bangladesh to play in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPLT20) which gets going next week. Emrit and Lewis are currently battling for the Red Force against the Barbados Pride in Bridgetown in the second round of the Regional Four-day tournament.

They, together with Cooper leave for Bangladesh after this match. Guardian Media was able to get the relevant section of the players contract which deals with playing cricket overseas during the term of their retainer. 

A WICB official explained that the players broke their contracts with the Red Force Franchise by signing contracts before gaining a release.

In reply to Maispwi

If you go by the record..it is almost certain that the WICB is wrong...but this maybe the exception.

Who needs a PCL retainer contract when you can earn more money playing T20 cricket in Bangladesh?

I waiting for the real true story
