​Draft selections to be announced on May 15

The Caribbean Premier League (CPL) has revised the Player Acquisition and Draft Rules for the three-year contract cycle covering 2026 to 2028.

Squad Composition

Each franchise will assemble a 17-player squad consisting of: nine senior West Indies players, five overseas players and three Breakout Players

Jamaica Kingsmen – Special Draft Provision

As the league’s new franchise, the Jamaica Kingsmen will receive special draft privileges:

They will have the option to make the first three picks in draft, restricted to selecting only Jamaican players

The Kingsmen are not obliged to use all three of these picks

These selections cannot be challenged using the Right to Match Option (RMO).

During this phase, the Kingsmen may select a maximum of one player from any single existing team.

Any team that loses a player to the Kingsmen will receive an additional RMO.

So leh me get this straight ... with 7 franchises, that means 63 senior West Indies players. Is that even possible? What qualifies a player as senior?

It’s like 90 players they pay year after year to stink up the 4-Day & Super50 competitions so I assume that’s where they’re supposed to choose from 🫠

Does that mean we might see Tage open for GAW 😂😂😂
