The franchise acquired the trio via ‘special draft privileges.'

The Kingsmen franchise has guaranteed that the Caribbean Premier League will return to Jamaica this summer, studded with home stars, following the marquee acquisitions of Rovman Powell, Andre Russell, and Fabian Allen.

The trio was selected through special draft privileges granted by the CPL, allowing the new team the option to make the first three picks in the draft. 

Russell, the former West Indies all-rounder, was a two-time winner in his eight years with the now-defunct Tallawahs. The 38-year-old makes the move from the Trinbago Knight Riders, where he’s spent the last four seasons.
