The Guyana Amazon Warriors have officially announced the players they have retained ahead of the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) draft. With nine players confirmed for the 2024 season, the Warriors are poised to build on their successful campaign from last year. They have the opportunity to sign up to five overseas players, while the remaining three squad positions will be determined at the CPL draft in July.

 Fresh off their maiden CPL title win in 2023, the Amazon Warriors have retained the core team that played a crucial role in securing the championship. Among the key Guyanese players staying with the franchise are Shimron Hetmyer, Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, and Keemo Paul. Their performances were instrumental in the team's success last season, and their retention ensures that the Warriors maintain a strong local foundation.

 The 2023 Player of the Tournament, Shai Hope, will also be back to bolster the squad with his impressive batting skills. Joining him is the promising fast bowler Shamar Joseph, whose pace and talent make him a valuable asset for the team.

 Additionally, Kevin Sinclair, Kevlon Anderson, and Junior Sinclair are also retained, adding depth and continuity to the squad. Their inclusion highlights the franchise's commitment to nurturing local talent and maintaining a strong Guyanese presence within the team.

 With these strategic retentions, the Guyana Amazon Warriors are set to defend their title with a solid mix of experienced players and emerging stars. The franchise looks forward to the upcoming CPL draft to complete their squad and prepare for another exciting season of Caribbean cricket.
