Saint Lucia Kings and Jamaica Tallawahs will lock horns in Match No. 1 of the Caribbean Premier League 2023 on Wednesday, August 16 (Thursday, August 17 in India). The Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia will play host to this match.
The Kings, led by Faf du Plessis, have a strong squad at their disposal. They have two quality all-rounders in the form of Sikandar Raza and Sean Williams, who were stupendous in the World Cup Qualifiers.
Johnson Charles is a clean striker of the ball and he is likely to open the batting with Du Plessis. Matthew Forde is an excellent all-rounder and his role will hold a lot of importance. Alzarri Joseph will lead their bowling attack.
The Tallawahs will be captained by Brandon King, who is fresh from playing a imperious knock against India in the fifth T20I in Lauderhill. He is likely to open the batting with Alex Hales, who recently announced his international retirement.
The Tallawahs have four quality all-rounders in the form of Raymon Reifer, Imad Wasim, Ben Cutting and Fabian Allen. Mohammad Amir will lead their bowling attack. Hayden Walsh Jr also needs to come to the party.
