Rovman Powell has been traded to the Barbados Royals ahead of the 2023 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) in a move that sees Hayden Walsh moving the other way to join the Jamaica Tallawahs.

Powell, the West Indies T20 captain, led the Tallawahs to their third CPL title in 2023 and has scored 1337 runs for the franchise since first joining them in 2016.

“It is with a heavy heart that my time with the Tallawahs has come to an end,” Powell said in a post in Instagram Wednesday morning.

Isn’t he the great hope who doesn’t praise Jesus openly?

Inequitable and unfair trade, unless Walsh came with a lot of money on the table for the Tallawah.

I guess Tallawah has no intention of retaining their title, unless they decide to draft the young ones like Lugg, Mansingh and McKenzie and they all perform creditable.

Pure nonsense, a cowlasher for a bench warmer ? No fair.

I think they got Walsh + 2 first round picks for 2024 .... not bad
