Head Coach Bradburn, who represented New Zealand at the test and one-day international level, has had significant success in the coaching ranks since retiring more than 20 years ago. Bradburn said: “Over the past few months, we have been planning and shaping our squad and as head coach, I am confident we have selected a high-quality group of players and staff, capable of putting Jamaica Kingsmen into CPL title contention. He has led the Jamaica Scorpions at several regional tournaments, recently coached the Under-19 team at the Cricket West Indies Rising Stars tournament, and served as head coach of the West Indies women’s team. Former Jamaica and West Indies batsman Nkrumah Bonner will serve as team manager, having won CPL titles with Jamaica Tallawahs. The Jamaica Kingsmen will begin their 2026 CPL campaign on Friday, August 5 against Antigua and Barbuda Falcons at Arnos Vale Stadium in St. Vincent.
