The Trinbago Knight Riders have confirmed the players they have retained and signed ahead of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) draft. They have 15 confirmed players for the 2024 season and will have two emerging player spots to fill at the draft in July.

The Knight Riders have signed Australian batter Tim David for the 2024 season. David has had success in the CPL in the past with the Saint Lucia Kings. They have also secured the services of experienced and explosive England international Jason Roy.

USA international Ali Khan and Afghan spinner Waqar Salamkheil will return to the franchise for the 2024 season. The Knight Riders have also signed Ireland left-arm seamer Josh Little.

The Knight Riders have retained the core of Caribbean players that took them to the final at the 2023 tournament with Andre Russell, Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine, and Nicholas Pooran all back with the Trinidad franchise. The full list of retained and signed players for the Knight Riders are as follows:

Apart from Knight Riders, other key signings in CPL include South African superstars Faf du Plessis and Heinrich Klaasen who will give serious firepower to the Saint Lucian franchise’s batting lineup in 2024. The Kings have also secured the services of Afghan left-arm spinner Noor Ahmad, Namibian seam-bowling all-rounder David Wiese, and Sri Lanka top-order batter Bhanuka Rajapaksa.

In another major development, St Kitts & Nevis Patriots have signed Sri Lankan spinner and skipper Wanindu Hasaranga and South African batter Rilee Rossouw. The new season of CPL will begin on August 30 with finals set to be played on October 7 at Providence Stadium, Guyana.
