Exciting Barbadian all-rounder Roshon Primus has developed rapidly over the past year, so rapid that he has become a regular fixture in Trinidad and Tobago Red Force teams in Cricket West Indies (CWI) Digicel Regional Four Day League and Super50. On Friday he was snapped up by the Guyana Amazon Warriors Franchise for US$10,000 to play in the fifth edition of the Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) which is set to roll out in August and September.

Thus the 21 year old will be heading into a new territory where he will have a chance to showcase his talent in “the biggest party in sport.” To date, Primus have featured in 12 Regional outings including five first class and seven List A matches. Whenever he plays, there is never a dull moment and he is planning to keep it that way when he don the Warriors’ colours.
“I definitely will bring some energy to the team along with all round performance,” the talented all-rounder told Guyana Times Sport.
Like most of the young players who featured in the draft, Primus was tuned in from the time of the sounding of the conch shell from the sunny beach of the lone Lone Star Hotel in Barbados at 10:00h.
He was keenly anticipating that moment when he would be selected by one of the six franchise and upon becoming the Warrior’s fourth new comer at that time Primus said he was very elated.
He described his selection as a dream come through; “Definitely been a dream come through.”
In addition he said he had a slight idea of the teams I would have been picked for still there was some anxious energy to see who I would be playing for. The new Warrior also like the composition of his side.
It is obvious that he is in the Warriors’ team at the expense of another all-rounder, Christopher Barnwell, and he is urging the fans not to worry because he is confident and up to the task.
For those who ponder what type of all-rounder is this emerging talent, he is a general all-rounder, who bowls medium pace and bats mostly in the lower order and have been progressing rapidly in terms of development in the last year.
