T&T's Rayad Em­rit will cap­tain the Bar­ba­dos Tri­dents in the up­com­ing Cham­pi­ons League T20 tour­na­ment in In­dia.Em­rit takes over from coun­try­man Ke­iron Pol­lard who led the Tri­dents to the Caribbean Pre­mier League T20 ti­tle last month. Based on that per­for­mance they have land­ed a place at the pres­ti­gious Cham­pi­ons League, which gets un­der­way in two weeks time.Pol­lard has opt­ed to play for his In­di­an Pre­mier League IPL team Mum­bai In­di­ans who have al­so qual­i­fied for the tour­na­ment.

The Tri­dents will al­so be with­out the ser­vices of two oth­er main play­ers in Dwayne Smith (Chen­nai Su­per Kings) and Shoaib Ma­lik who have opt­ed to play for oth­er teams.An of­fi­cial close to the Tri­dents team said that they want­ed to re­place these play­ers with oth­er play­ers from the Caribbean but they were told by the Cham­pi­ons League that they could not have cho­sen any play­er who played In the CPL for oth­er teams. In­stead they could have cho­sen men who were on the CPL draft but who were not cho­sen by any of the six Caribbean sides.It is un­der­stood that the Tri­dents were in­ter­est­ed in TT Red Steel open­er Evin Lewis and the St Lu­cia Zouks cap­tain Dar­ren Sam­my but they were de­nied.
