Left-arm pacer Krishmar Santokie is hoping that his performances for the Guyana Amazon Warriors in the just-concluded Limacol Caribbean Premier League (CPL) will help him to gain a berth in the West Indies senior team.

Santokie, who was named Player of the Tournament after taking 16 wickets to end as the leading wicket taker, made the disclosure at the weekend shortly following his team's seven-wicket loss to Jamaica Tallawahs in the final at Queen's Park Oval, Trinidad and Tobago.

"It's a very memorable and prestigious moment for me to be named Player of the Tournament," said Santokie.

"I have been trying to get the award ever since the Caribbean Twenty20 tournament started a few years aback, and, in my eyes, it has been very close.
