Caribbean Premier League 2026: Full squads after the auction

The Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2026 franchises have finalised their squads with a mix of major signings and key retention ahead of the new season.

Trinbago Knight Riders re-signed Usman Tariq after his crucial contributions during the 2025 campaign. However, his availability for the upcoming season remains uncertain due to the scheduling overlap between the CPL and The Hundred. The Trinidad-based franchise also strengthened its squad by signing Amshi de Silva, who impressed in Major League Cricket 2026, along with South African batter Matthew Breetzke.

Guyana Amazon Warriors secured the services of Imran Tahir and Glenn Phillips, with Phillips returning to the CPL after a six-year absence. The Warriors also reinforced their spin department by signing veteran all-rounder Mohammad Nabi.

St Kitts & Nevis Patriots added Pakistan fast bowler Naseem Shah, setting up the possibility of a clash against his brother, Hunain Shah, who was signed by Jamaica Kingsmen. The Patriots further strengthened their squad by acquiring Wanindu Hasaranga, Waqar Salamkheil, and Nikhil Chaudhary.

St Lucia Kings welcomed back Tim Seifert and Noor Ahmad, while Shadley van Schalkwyk is set to make his maiden CPL appearance with the franchise. Barbados Tridents signed Quinton de Kock and Afghanistan spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman to bolster their squad.

Antigua & Barbuda Falcons secured the signatures of Shadab Khan and Sufiyan Muqeem, although both players are expected to be available for only seven matches due to commitments in the European T20 Premier League (ETPL), which overlaps with the CPL schedule. The Falcons have also added experienced internationals Moeen Ali and Kusal Perera.

The 2026 Caribbean Premier League will be held across a record-equalling eight Caribbean nations: Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago.

The seven-team tournament will run from August 7 to September 20, overlapping with The Hundred, the European T20 Premier League (ETPL), and the knockout stages of the Lanka Premier League (LPL).
