  • Hasaranga And Brevis Signed By St Kitts Nevis Patriots For Cpl 2022

Hasaranga and Brevis signed by St Kitts & Nevis Patriots for CPL 2022

With the intriguing Caribbean Premier League 2022 edition, the team's player acquisitions and drafting are in full swing. Defending champions, St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, have recently announced the list of the retained and overseas players picked in the draft. The team has made four overseas signings, with two players from the Proteas, one emerging player from Afghanistan and the top-notch Sri Lankan spin wizard. 

Wanindu Hasaranga, the Sri Lankan leg-spinner who has shown the calibre with his spin through the recent IPL edition and the T20 World Cup in UAE, can benefit the team from his mind-boggling bowling. Hasaranga will be available after the Patriots' first few games; to fill the void, the Pakistani off-spinner Qasim Akram will be with the team until he arrives. Earlier this year, in the Caribbean, Akram captained the Pakistan team that competed in the U19 Cricket World Cup.

The team has also signed two South African players known for their recent performances. Dewald Brevis, who was the second-highest run-getter in the U-19 World Cup 2022, and all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius were the team's new signings. In addition, Izharulhaq Naveed, an Afghan leg spinner, will join the Patriots for his first appearance in the CPL 2022. 

The announcement for the remaining overseas spot is expected to take place in the coming weeks. In addition, they have five more vacancies in the squad that they will be filling through the CPL 2022 player draft show, which will happen on July 7.

The Derbyshire Falcons captain Shan Masood has received the honour of Professional Cricketers' Association (PCA) 'Player of the Month' for June. The award's winner is decided by the public vote on the official website of (thepca.co.uk). The poll for the concerned month was closed on Saturday (July 2) at 11 am. The four nominations for this prestigious award were Will Jacks, James Vince, Shan Masood, and Wayne Madsen. Masood scored 419 runs in the T20 Blast, with four fifties. His top score of 75 came against Lancashire Lightning. Furthermore, the 32-year-old returned with a knock of 98 in a County Championship fixture against Middlesex and was one of the key contributors to the team's clinical victory. Masood also received this award for April, wherein he slammed 713 runs, including two double centuries in the red-ball games. The PCA Vice-Chair and fellow Derbyshire teammate Anuj Dal presented the award to the Pakistani batter. At the same time, the whole team celebrated the momentum occasion at the Incora County Ground, Derby. Falcons posted the video of the same on their official Twitter account. In the latter part of the video, it can be seen that Masood is trying to hand over the award to his teammate Madsen, who scored 318 runs in Blast and 287 runs in the red-ball format. "I am grateful in terms of the votes that I have had and it was a month where I saw three really good players surrounded the shortlist and me. I think James Vince is probably my favourite player when it comes to watching cricket, as a fan you'd always like him to win," said Masood. "I am grateful for the set-up created by Derbyshire and the county cricket set-up that has allowed me to thrive as a player and I have learnt a lot. I have always considered scoring runs to be a by-product," he added. The southpaw is the leading run-scorer in the County Championship Division Two, with 1074 runs in eight innings at an average of 82.61.
