Powell hoping to captain Jamaica Tallawahs

KINGSTON, Jamaica – With the Jamaica Tallawahs reportedly set for a shake-up ahead of the 2020 Caribbean Premier League (CPL), West Indies all-rounder Rovman Powell is hoping to get the chance to lead the squad.

Powell, who has an average of 20.5 in his 26 T20s, is tipped to take up the position, according to local media reports.

He told the Jamaica Gleaner that while nothing has been confirmed, just to be considered to captain one of the biggest franchises in the CPL “is a privilege”.

“It will be a big boost for my career because I have had a short stint as captain for the Windies team and I also captained the Jamaica Scorpions, so it will definitely be a big step in the career of Rovman Powell,” he said.

Powell added that if he was named captain, his experience playing in T20 tournaments around the world would have prepared him well to deal with any challenges.
