The player draft for the 2024 edition of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) took place earlier this week. Here are the full squads for each team, ahead of the tournament.
Last month, each of the six participating teams released the list of players that had been retained or re-signed. Several overseas stars headlined these names, such as Heinrich Klaasen (St Lucia Kings), Imad Wasim (Antigua & Barbuda Falcons), David Miller (Barbados Royals) and Sikandar Raza (St Kitts & Nevis Patriots).
A record shattering start for England 💥

The player draft was conducted on Monday, July 15. Teams used this opportunity to fill out the rest of their squads, primarily with domestic talent. West Indies U19 players Jewel Andrew, Isai Thorne and Nathan Sealy were all signed up, and USA's Aaron Jones signed with St Lucia Kings on the back of a productive T20 World Cup. He will qualify as a domestic player, thanks to his Barbados passport.
Pakistani players Azam Khan and Saim Ayub have been retained by Guyana Amazon Warriors, but they have not yet been provided no-objection certificates (NOCs) for the tournament by the PCB. It remains to be seen whether they will take part in the tournament, or need to be replaced.
The 2024 season of the Caribbean Premier League runs from August 29 to October 6.
