The interesting thing in this is that all the four players will play for Trinbago Knight Riders TKR owned by Shahrukh Khan in CPL 2022. This will be the first time in the history of CPL that Andre Russell and Kieron Pollard will play for the same team. However, these players will be without Darren Bravo, as Bravo will play in the St. Kitts & Navis Patriots team alongside his older brother Dwayne Bravo. Remind you that Dwayne Bravo’s team won the title of CPL 2021. In the past, both Darren and Dwayne have played together for Trinbago Knight Riders TKR.
