Former Bangladesh High-Performance coach Simon Helmut on Monday is appointed as the head coach of St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the upcoming Caribbean Premier League.
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have been pretty active in the CPL players window as they have signed former West Indian wicket-keeper batsman Ramdin as well as other Windies players Rayad Emrit, Evin Lewis, Sheldon Cottrell, Fabian Allen and Alzarri Joseph, and emerging player, Barbadian Dominic Drakes.
With the departure of former Windies Twenty20 International skipper Brathwaite, who was among Patriots’ leading scorers during his time with the franchise, 39-year-old all-rounder Emrit will serve as captain.
‘’I am very excited to be part of St Kitts and Nevis Patriots for a second season,’’ said Emrit.
“I think that the team that is selected this year is going to be a very exciting one,” he said. “I am very excited to be named as captain. It’s always an honour and a privilege to lead a franchise. Our new coach, Simon Helmot, knows the CPL and he knows how to win titles. He and I are going to work very hard to get the team to the finals,” he added.
CPL organizers say they are watching the global pandemic closely and are liaising with medical advisers and governments to make a decision on the tournament as soon as possible.
