The six franchise teams set to compete in the inaugural edition of the West Indies Breakout League have officially finalized their squads following a highly anticipated player draft.
Ahead of the draft, each team had the opportunity to retain seven cricketers, with a cap of three players aged between 27 and 29. The remaining seven squad members were selected during the draft process, with all draftees required to be 26 years old or younger.
In keeping with the league’s mission to spotlight emerging talent, all selected players must have limited professional experience. Eligibility criteria stipulate that players must have participated in fewer than 40 List A T20 matches and fewer than 10 International T20s.
Each franchise was also permitted to select two players from outside their home territory.
The draft saw an exciting influx of young talent, with 15 teenagers securing spots on various teams.
