Brathwaite goes to Royals, St Kitts add 2 English players
Carlos Brathwaite, Benny Howell and Will Smeed will join the ‘Biggest Party in Sport’ this week, a missive from the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League has indicated.
Brathwaite will join the Barbados Royals as a temporary replacement for Donovan Ferreira, who has been called up by South Africa for international duties. All-rounder Brathwaite is no stranger to the Barbadian franchise, having represented the Barbados Tridents in the earlier years of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
Brathwaite has also featured for the Jamaica Tallawahs and the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots in previous editions of the regional tournament.

Meanwhile, English players Howell and Smeed will be joining the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots. They will be replacing Blessing Muzarabani and Ambati Rayudu, who have left the tournament to deal with personal matters.
The Barbados Royals, who are now enjoying their home leg of the 2023 tournament, were scheduled to come up against the Trinbago Knight Riders on Wednesday night. On the other hand, the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will continue their campaign on Saturday, September 2, against the Guyana Amazon Warriors from 10:00hrs local time.
