“Speaking on behalf of the other coaches, I am very pleased to have been asked to be a part of the Caribbean Premier League. I think it is to the benefit of the CPL organisers that they have embraced some of the past West Indies players, and are willing to utilise our expertise and knowledge of the game,” said Desmond Haynes who along with Roger Harper, David Williams and Andy Roberts attended the media event."

CPL officials announced the country assignments for the 12 franchise players – six West Indian and six international – and named the six head coaches and six assistant coaches at a press briefing in Trinidad today. Attended by four of the coaches and chaired by CPL Operations Manager Carlisle Powell, making good on CPL’s promise to keep the public updated on plans for the Caribbean Premier League inaugural tournament and to ensure a strong Caribbean make up as the momentum builds and the countdown begins to the first ball being bowled in action.
