The six franchise teams competing in the highly anticipated West Indies Breakout League have officially confirmed their seven protected players ahead of the upcoming player draft. 

As per tournament regulations, each team is allowed to protect seven cricketers, with a maximum of three players aged between 27 and 29. The remaining seven players per squad will be selected during the draft, and they must all be 26 years old or younger.

Recognizing their importance to the T20 game, CWI has also mandated that one of the protected seven players must be a leg spinner.

To maintain the league’s focus on emerging talent, all players must also have limited professional experience, defined as having played fewer than 40 List A T20 matches and fewer than 10 International T20s.
