Cricket commentary | Jamaica Kingsmen vs Trinbago Knight Riders, 8th Match, Caribbean Premier League 2026

Rovman Powell: We are going to bowl first. Looks like a good surface. They are the most successfull team and we would like to win against them. We as a team are trying to get the best output. We have one change.

Nicholas Pooran:

[On flying in the previous night and integrating into a familiar team] Yeah, beautiful moment for us. Obviously, CPL, have a lot of great memories and winning that championship, yeah, a memorable moment for them. But, happy to be here with the group, not only myself, but obviously Polly (Kieron Pollard) and Dwayne Bravo as well, who came in last night. 

[On changes to the playing XI] No, just the three changes, myself, Usman, Polly’s in and obviously three non-tournament changes that shuffled out.
