Australian all-rounder Chris Green has been appointed captain of the Barbados Tridents for the upcoming Caribbean Premier League season. The 32-year-old replaces Rovman Powell, who returns to his home franchise, the Jamaica Kingsmen, after three seasons in Barbados.
Green has previously skippered the Sydney Thunder in Australia's Big Bash League and the Birmingham Bears in England’s Vitality Blast. He also has leadership experience in the CPL, standing in to lead the Guyana Amazon Warriors in 2018 before being given the role full-time in 2020.
“It is a real honour to captain the Barbados Tridents,” Green said. “Having been part of the squad last year, I understand what this team means to Barbados and its supporters.”
The team has been emphasising its local roots and influence this off-season, the year of the country’s 60th Independence, which has led to a return to its original Tridents tag after rebranding as the Royals five years ago.
