ESPNcricinfo presents the Best XI of CPL 2016, while adhering to the four-overseas-players rule. Jamaica Tallawahs lead the way, with three players in the XI 

1. Johnson Charles - 441 runs, 143.18 strike rateAfter a relatively modest start to the season, Charles caught fire on the St Lucia Zouks' home leg, scoring 341 runs at an average of 56.83 over the final seven games of the season to put them in the CPL playoffs for the first time in four seasons. He finished as the second-highest run-scorer, after Chris Lynn.

2. Chris Gayle (capt)- 425 runs, 155.67 strike rateChris Gayle blew hot and cold throughout the season, but was positively scorching when he got going. He made the most of a dropped chance on 5 against Trinbago Knight Riders to score the highest score of the season, 108 not out. He ended up third overall on the run charts, while leading Jamaica Tallawahs to their second CPL title.

ESPNcricinfo has the complete team

Nicholas Pooran is in that XI, but can't make it into the WI squad....

Is that how it works in the Caribbean...one good season in the lickit cricket and you are on the West Indies squad?

In reply to Courtesy

conversely Sammy never had a good season when he was made captain in all formats

In reply to ponderiver... you too lie.

In reply to mikesiva Slightly disappointed that Pooran did not make it into the 13. But realistically he would have had to go as a specialist batsman. His keeping needs nuff work. But if he gets his keeping sorted out and guys like Rovman Powell come on as expected we should have a pretty formidable squad for the future.

In reply to Logic

Pooran is an outstanding Batsman he is good enough to play as one

He needs to be fast tracked into the senior set up

Guys like him come along once in a lifetime

Powell has also impressed me
His dismantling of our great hope Joseph in the CPl was impressive

He is one of the few that seem able to play the pull shot unerringly
