CPL Draft Analysis 2017
TEAM – St Kitts & Nevis Patriots
Star Player to watch out for: Chris Morris
Value: 130k
Pick analysis: Morris is a genuine match winner, bowls with good pace and has the ability to strike in the power play overs. With the bat he has the power and skill to change the course of the game.
Value Player to watch out for: Sheldon Cotterell
Value: 7.5k
Player analysis: Consistent performer with the new ball, being a left-arm quick that can swing it he presents a challenge to any top order.
Summary – With the off-season signing of Chris Gayle, the Patriots overnight look like title challengers. Along with Gayle there has been some very shrewd signings with a real all-round look to it. Ben Cutting, Chris Morris and Mohammad Nabi provide a diverse range of skills, which will prove formidable. The prospect of the Gayle/Lewis combination at the top of the order followed by the power all-rounders in the middle could well post some big totals this year. The attack will be challenging for most with the clever and skillful combination of Badree and Shamsi.
