Get ready for the 11th edition of the Caribbean Premiere, set to kick off on August 16th. The Trinbago Knight Riders, the most successful team in the league, are shaping up to be a formidable force with some intriguing new signings. Here’s a look at the CPL 2023 TKR Squad: The trio of Pollard, Russell, and Bravo have reunited, and they’re joined by the exciting additions of Noor Ahmed and Pathirana.
Expect another thrilling season filled with power hitters and entertainers. The tournament will feature six teams, with the top 4 teams, based on points, advancing to the playoff round. Trinbago Knight Riders, four-time champions, had a tough time last season, finishing at the bottom of the table. This compelled them to make some significant changes to their squad, and they’ve done so admirably.
For the first time, the three superstars of West Indies cricket, Keiron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, and Andre Russell, have come together in the TKR side. Joining them is the maestro spinner, Sunil Narine. Fans are eagerly anticipating how these seasoned veterans will perform alongside the current generation of superstars.
Additionally, TKR has looked to inject some young talent into their team, particularly those who have showcased their skills in the Indian Premier League. One such signing is the Sri Lankan fast bowler, Matheesha Pathirana, who possesses a bowling action reminiscent of Malinga. Pathirana’s laser-guided yorkers made life difficult for opposition batters, especially in the death overs, during his time with the champion team CSK.

Furthermore, TKR has secured the services of Afghan leg spinner Noor Ahmed, who delivered a magnificent spell in the IPL 2023 finals. Noor Ahmed is a versatile bowler capable of performing in any phase of the match. His variations, combined with the experience of Sunil Narine, are bound to work wonders for the TKR side.
