Captain Powell Leads Tallawahs To Victory

The Jamaica Tallawahs secured their third victory of the 2022 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) season with a win over Trinbago Knight Riders by 34 runs.

The Trinbago Knight Riders won the toss and chose to field, Ravi Rampaul making early inroads by removing both openers, Brandon King and Kennar Lewis. However, Tallawahs captain Rovman Powell would lead by example, hitting ten boundaries in his innings of 67 to take his side to 153/7 after 20 overs. 

Trinbago Knight Riders in turn lost the wickets of Sunil Narine and Tion Webster early on, and largely due to superb bowling spells from Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim, were unable to find any fluency as they consistently lost wickets, ending up on 119/8 and losing by 34 runs.

Conde Riley: No reason for Board to quit over Edwards’ payout

Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) president Conde Riley has described an impasse between former Barbados and West Indies batsman Kirk Edwards and the BCA that led to a hefty out-of-court settlement in favour of Edwards, as a very “unfortunate” development. He also stressed that there was no reason for his board to resign over the settlement.

Edwards was recently awarded over BDS$200, 000 in damages by the BCA over a 2014 incident that resulted in a breach of his contract and significant losses after being removed as captain of the Barbados team and being subsequently sent home from the NAGICO Super50 competition played in Trinidad and Tobago at the time.

Riley told Barbados TODAY that under the advice of the BCA’s lawyers, they made the decision to settle the matter out of court to avoid any greater repercussions and a prolonged court hearing. “Our lawyers advised us to discuss the matter rather than go to court and spend a long time in court. So, once the lawyers met, they came up with a figure and advised us and we took the lawyers’ advice,” he said.
