Faf du Plessis will look to lead the charge for the Patriots

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots came into existence after the withdrawal of Antigua Hawkbills, in 2015. The team plays its’ home games at Warner Park, St Kitts. The team was supported by the St Kitts and Nevis Government, as well as the local businessmen.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots weren’t supposed to replace the Antigua franchise and the CPL 2015 was supposed to feature 7 teams instead of 6, but the Hawkbills pulled out before the start of CPL 2015.

Even though the team is the youngest, they are in the safe hands of Faf Du Plessis, and would be hoping to make an impact in this years’ CPL.
