Van der Dussen, Walsh Jr joins St Kitts & Nevis Patriots

The St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have made two additions to their squad ahead of the 2018 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL), which gets underway on August 8.

The Patriots will be joined by Rassie van der Dussen for the second half of the season as Sandeep Lamichhane is leaving for national duty with Nepal on August 26. Van der Dussen is an explosive batsman who has three T20 hundreds in 65 matches.
Graeme Cremer is now unavailable due to injury. He is being replaced by Antiguan cricketer Hayden Walsh Jr. Walsh is a leg-spinner and middle-order batsman who has represented the Leeward Islands in First Class and List A cricket.

Speaking about the new additions to the squad, Patriots Head Coach Donovan Miller said: “It is always sad to lose players that we drafted, but in Hayden Walsh Jr and Rassie van der Dussen, we have two players that we are very confident will succeed at this year’s Hero CPL as we look to go one game better than last year and win the tournament in 2018.”
The tournament will run until September 16, and will feature matches played in St Kitts, Trinidad, Guyana, Barbados, Jamaica, St Lucia, and the USA.
