Calls on local youngsters to "learn fast."
Captain Rovman Powell insists the Jamaica Kingsmen will bring their best for this season's Caribbean Premier League despite it being their first in the competition.
The Kingsmen franchise is the second Jamaican-based team to participate in the CPL after the Tallawahs, which was made defunct following the 2023 season.
Powell says this does not give his team a free pass to let the standards slip.
“No, it's not a case of settling,” Powell began. “A lot has been invested from a financial standpoint with getting the franchise and those kinds of things. With us as cricketers, our careers are at stake. It's not a matter of settling. Each and every year you want to get better. So we [will] see how best we can perform this year, and then each year we see if we can go a little bit better.”
Powell thinks the young Jamaican core has a key role to play not just this season but also in the franchise's long-term future, but says they will need to adapt quickly.
