- Dwayne Bravo - The 39 year old bowling all-rounder has taken 615 T20 wickets across his career. He can make contributions with the bat but has some excellent variations with the ball.

St Kitts & Nevis Team News & Playing 11
SKN Team News
There is a strong South African influence in the Patriots squad ahead of CPL 2023 but not all the overseas players will be able to take the field at the same time due to the domestic player rule. There is plenty of excitement around seeing Dewald Brevis and Tristan Stubbs in this side.
SKN Key Players
- Sherfane Rutherford - The left-hander often comes to the crease and needs to attack immediately. He has hit more sixes than fours across his T20 career.
- Dewald Brevis - The 20 year old South African has already announced himself on the cricketing public with a score of 162 in T20 cricket. He is set to be one of the top players over the next decade.
- Sheldon Cottrell - With a famous celebration, the left-arm pace bowler is a great entertainer. He is capable of bowling unplayable balls and has taken 106 international wickets.
SKN Team Form
St Kitts & Nevis Patriots won two of their last four matches in the 2022 CPL.
St Kitts & Nevis Predicted Playing 11
Andre Fletcher, Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, Sherfane Rutherford, Joshua Da Silva (wk), Ambati Rayudu, Dominic Drakes, Yannic Cariah, Johann Layne, Oshane Thomas, Sheldon Cottrell
