Cricket West Indies (CWI) will host the West Indies Professional Cricketers Draft season on Thursday June 22 at 11am (10am Jamaica). The Territorial Board Franchises will be convening to draft their five players for their squads for regional events which will include the CG United Super50 Cup limited overs tournament and the West Indies Championship four-day first-class competition.
The draft will be conducted over five rounds, where each franchise must pick a player in each round. Each franchise will pick five players to add to their pre-selected squad of 10 protected players, to make a full squad of 15 players – two of whom must be under the age of 25 on October 1, 2023. The franchises will be selecting their picks from a pool of nearly 100 players.
Once the franchises have made their full picks to confirm their 15 retained players, a total of 90 men’s cricketers across the six franchises will be retained on full-time regional contracts
