Guyana Amazon Warriors captain Denesh Ramdin, left, squares off against Kieron Pollard, skipper of Barbados Tridents, yesterday ahead of today’s Limacol Caribbean Premier League finals at Warner Park in St Kitts.

T&T Red Steel is back home but Trini interest in the Caribbean Premier League Twenty20 remains keen, as nine players from the country will be present at the final at Warner Park, St Kitts, today. Trinidadians Keiron Pollard leading the Barbados Tridents will oppose Denesh Ramdin leading the Guyana Amazon Warriors in front of a packed house, to see who comes away as kings of T20 cricket in the region.

Barbados Tridents include Ravi Rampaul, Rayad Emrit, William Perkins and Akeal Hosein, while Ramdin will have with him Lendl Simmons, Sunil Narine and Navin Stewart. Pollard said: “The Warriors played very well last night, but I am not worried. We will do our preparation and get ourselves ready for playing them, but we are going to concentrate on our strengths rather than worry too much about theirs. “They beat us at home a few weeks ago, so we know we will have to bring our A-Game on Saturday (today) to win. They do have dangerous bowlers in the form of Narine and (Krishmar) Santokie, however, when the bad ball comes, we will look to capitalise on it and it should be an exciting match.”

Ramdin said, “After last night’s game, the players who did not get a chance to bat yesterday will be working hard in the nets today (yesterday) so we are all fully prepared for tomorrow’s (today) final. Santokie and Narine have been bowling well so we will also be looking for them to carry their good form into tomorrow’s (today) match.” Barbados Tridents coach Robin Singh said, “Preparations have been good this week and we have welcomed the break after playing so many games in quick succession at the end of the group stages. We have some players who have done really well throughout the tournament such as Jason Holder and Kieron Pollard, but we will be looking to prepare all of our players to be their best in the final.”

On being asked how they will try to do things differently from last year’s final, where they lost in the last over, Guyana Amazon Warriors coach, Roger Harper said, “This time around we will be looking to produce our best cricket when it counts. We will not necessarily be looking to do anything different to what we have done previously in the tournament, but we will think about the Barbados Tridents today (yesterday) and fine tune our plans so we are ready for tomorrow (today).”

A number of T&T fans are here in St Kitts and will make an appearance at the ground today, with the majority of them supporting the Guyana Amazon Warriors. Action begins at 4 pm and in an Island with a population of around 50,000—nothing much other than cricket will be the attraction.

TEAM: Barbados Tridents: Keiron Pollard (capt), Akeal Hosein, Ravi Rampaul, Ashley Nurse, Jeevan Mendis, Kyle Mayers, Shoaib Malik, Jason Holder, Jonahan Carter, Neil McKenzie, Shane Dowrich, Raymon Reifer and Kirk Edwards.

Guyana Amazon Warriors: Denesh Ramdin (capt), Sunil Narine, Veerasammy Permaul, Ronsford Beaton, Steven Jacobs, Jimmy Neesham, Lendl Simmons, Krishmar Santokie, Navin Stewart, Chris Barnwell, Robin Bacchus, Rayon Griffith, Martin Guptill and Leon Johnson

I'm backing the Amazons. Love watching Narine and I like the idea of Mohammed Hafeez in a final.

I don't know why some people keep making the cpl final about Trinidad. The fact that the tournament is franchise base means that the Trinidad franchise which is the Red Steel will not be in the finals. I understand that both teams have players from Trinidad but stop making it all about those players.

Insecurity , low self esteem and ashamed of their OWN country's DRAFT :

plus being unable to understand how a Franchise system works.

An awsome DRAFT manager with visionary picks like Kiwi Guptil and a Trini reject :

being paired : NOW the MOST potent opening pair...

Making Jamaica's lefty Santokie and Guyana's rightie Beaton a cool Tandem of quick bowling .

A Pakistani Hafeez , Trini Sunil and Guyana's lefty orthodox Permaul:

to be a Spin Trifecta  ...PLUS grabbing the best Glove man in the region : to backstop them !!

with a X Factor in Guyana's Barnwell ...

ITS called GREAT thinking and SHREWD intelligence by GUYANA  8)

Re: Nine Trinis to feature in CPL final - ketchim - 08-16-2014

and an X Factor in Guyana's Barnwell !

Re: Nine Trinis to feature in CPL final - ketchim - 08-16-2014
