The 2025 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) is shaping up to be an exhilarating season as several high-profile player transfers have been completed ahead of the official player draft next month. The Barbados Royals have secured the services of Sherfane Rutherford, a dynamic middle-order batter known for his powerful striking, for the upcoming season. This will mark Rutherford’s third CPL franchise, having previously represented the Guyana Amazon Warriors and the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots. Cornwall, known for his explosive batting and effective off-spin, returns to his home franchise after three seasons with the Royals, where he amassed 1,347 CPL runs at a remarkable strike rate of over 150. King was the tournament’s leading run-scorer in 2019 and was named Player of the Tournament in 2022, showcasing his proven track record in the league.
