Tridents retain Holder, Reifer, Young and Hope

BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - THE Barbados Tridents have announced their retention of players for the 2021 Hero Caribbean Premier League, which gets under way on August 28 in the Federation. 
 
Captain Jason Holder led the list of retained players along with fellow Barbadians Shai Hope, Kyle Mayers, Raymon Reifer, Justin Greaves, Nyeem Young and Joshua Bishop.
 
The Tridents, in addition to their locally retained contingent,  also kept opener Johnson Charles and leg spinner Hayden Walsh Jr., who was player of the tournament when the Tridents claimed the Hero CPL title in 2019.  
 
With the small number of retained players, the Tridents have eight spots left to fill in their squad.
 
Kailash Pardasani, Barbados Tridents Co-CEO, said: “We are really excited to welcome back our retained players and especially look forward to making Barbados and all Tridents’ fans very proud in our upcoming 2021 season. Our primary driving factor is the Barbados Tridents family which comprises our players, their extended families and all fans across the globe. This together with our love and passion for the game of cricket will enable us to bring the Hero CPL 2021 title back home as we did in 2019.”
 
The Tridents are the third squad to announce retained players ahead of the season, which is expected to bowl off in the Federation.

That followed announcements from the Guyana Amazon Warriors and the Trinbago Knight Riders.
