Sev­en play­ers from the West In­dies and four over­seas crick­eters have been named to the 2019m Hero Caribbean Pre­mier League (CPL) All-Stars team which was se­lect­ed on Fri­day by Tom Moody, CPL’s Di­rec­tor – In­ter­na­tion­al Crick­et, along with the com­men­tary team – Mark Butch­er, Dan­ny Mor­ri­son, Dirk Nannes, Ian Bish­op and Daren Gan­ga.

The team will be cap­tained by Shoaib Ma­lik (313 runs at 78.25) who suc­cess­ful­ly led the Guyana Ama­zon War­riors to a record 10 vic­to­ries in the group stages to leave his team un­beat­en in the tour­na­ment go­ing in­to yes­ter­day's ti­tle-match. He is joined by fel­low Ama­zon War­riors, Bran­don King (453 runs at 56.62) and Im­ran Tahir (15 wick­ets at 11.53) who have both played an in­te­gral part in the Guyana fran­chise’s record-break­ing tour­na­ment.

The sole rep­re­sen­ta­tive from the Ja­maica Tallawahs is Glenn Phillips (374 runs at 37.40) who will al­so be the wick­et­keep­er for the team. Phillips was the lead­ing light for the Tallawahs who had a tricky sea­son, but the Ki­wi ‘keep­er-bats­man did bril­liant­ly at the top of the or­der.

The Trin­ba­go Knight Rid­ers have two play­ers in the team, Lendl Sim­mons and Kieron Pol­lard. Sim­mons (429 runs at 42.90) was a late re­place­ment in the Knight Rid­ers squad but has done a su­perb job at the top of the or­der as his team made the play­offs once again. Pol­lard (349 runs at 58.16 and 6 wick­ets at 29.66) stepped up to the cap­tain­cy af­ter Dwayne Bra­vo pulled out of the tour­na­ment through in­jury and has led from the front with both bat and ball.

The Bar­ba­dos Tri­dents have three play­ers who make the team. Ja­son Hold­er (14 wick­ets at 23.07) and Har­ry Gur­ney (10 wick­ets at 16.3) both get­ting the nod. Hold­er and Gur­ney have been su­perb with the new ball for the Tri­dents as their team fin­ished sec­ond in the points ta­ble. The oth­er mem­ber of the Tri­dents who is se­lect­ed is Hay­den Walsh Jr (21 wick­ets a 12.19) who has claimed five wick­ets in one in­nings and four in an­oth­er as the USA spin­ner had a break­out sea­son.

St Kitts & Nevis Pa­tri­ots have rep­re­sen­ta­tion from Fabi­an Allen (218 runs at 27.25) and Shel­don Cot­trell (12 wick­ets at 19.25). Allen has scored his runs at a re­mark­able strike rate of 177.23 dur­ing the 2019 Hero CPL and has al­so been one of the field­ers of the tour­na­ment. Cot­trell has been salut­ing his way to suc­cess once again as he starred with the new ball and at the death for the Pa­tri­ots.

The Head Coach of the year is Jo­han Botha who has tak­en Guyana Ama­zon War­riors in­to the CPL fi­nal with 11 straight wins. The 12th and 13th men are al­so from Ama­zon War­riors, with Chris Green (13 wick­ets at 20) and Chan­dra­paul Hem­raj (298 runs at 27.09, 5 wick­ets at 17.2) mak­ing up the rest of the squad.
