Three members of the unbeaten Trinbago Knight Riders were selected among a 2020 Hero CPL team of the tournament announced on Wednesday, the eve of the 2020 finals set for the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad and Tobago.

First-time finalists the St. Lucia Zouks had only one member selected for the XI eleven players selected by the tournament’s commentary team of Tom Moody, Ian Bishop, Daren Ganga, Danny Morrison and Samuel Badree.

Three members of the Guyana Amazon Warriors squad and two players from the Jamaica Tallawahs and one each from St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and the 2019 champions, Barbados Tridents, made the cut for the team captained by TKR’s Kieron Pollard.

“After healthy discussion and debate the commentators have finalised what they believe is a power-packed all-star XI from Hero CPL 2020,” said Tom Moody, who is also CPL’s Director of International Cricket.

In a tournament dominated by world-class spin, there was an abundance of riches, Imran Tahir again proved a challenge to all who came his way. Kieron Pollard’s all-round skills again brought some eye-catching performances; it was an easy decision to make him the captain after a flawless league stage.

The team is as follows:  Glenn Phillips (wk) – Jamaica Tallawahs; Sunil Narine – Trinbago Knight Riders; Shimron Hetmyer – Guyana Amazon Warriors; Nicholas Pooran – Guyana Amazon Warriors; Darren Bravo – Trinbago Knight Riders; Kieron Pollard (capt) – Trinbago Knight Riders; Mohammad Nabi – St Lucia Zouks; Jason Holder – Barbados Tridents; Rayad Emrit – St Kitts & Nevis Patriots; Imran Tahir – Guyana Amazon Warriors; Mujeeb ur Rahman – Jamaica Tallawahs
