Captains' Thoughts

Kieron Pollard(Trinbago Knight Riders Captain): "Obviously this is a franchise which is celebrating 10 years in CPL and then DJ Champion Bravo is playing his last season. We have had a very good 7-day camp at Trinidad and the team is in a good position. "

"We are playing two of our emerging players. Shaqkere Parris and Nathan Edward are here in the playing XI."

Andre Fletcher (St Kitts & Nevis Patriots Captain): "We are going to bowl first. New pitch so want to see what it offers and then take it from there. Obviously soft dismissals, we want to look at that. "

"I honestly, never knew I was that close but looking forward to see what I can do for my time. Two changes for us. Rilee Rossouw is unfit. Sherfane Rutherford comes in. Mikyele Louis comes in for Ashmead Nedd."
