West India fast bowler Oshane Thomas said that he is still shocked over losing his teenage brother to drug mafia’s bullets in the Clarendon of Jamaica and insisted that was very tough him for him and his family to take it

The CPL has produced three short films on Thomas, Keemo Paul and Rovman Powell as promotional ones for the 2020 edition of the league, scheduled as of now between August 19 and September 26.

As the shooting crew of Caribbean Premier Leagues drives him to Clarendon - from where his journey began and as they came closer to the town the giant fast bowler asks the driver to pull up on the side of the road and points out at a strip of green where the shooting took place.

‘’I was nine or 10 around that time and didn’t know much about life, but it was hard on my mother. It was not a gang war or anything but a case of mistaken identity. They shot him on the leg and as he couldn’t run, they put six bullets into him,’’ said Oshane through a choked voice that suggested that the emotions being still raw after all these years.

 ‘‘The next five-six years were tough, but you ultimately move on,’’ he says before taking the TV crew through the rest of his journey from school to the neighborhood cricket club - where he had his first brush with local pace deities Michael Holding and Courtney Walsh and during his growing up days.
