The Bar­ba­dos Tri­dents and St Lu­cia Zouks have an­nounced the sign­ing of re­place­ment play­ers for the re­main­der of the Hero Caribbean Pro­fes­sion­al League (CPL) sea­son, as they are sched­uled to lose cur­rent squad mem­bers due to in­ter­na­tion­al com­mit­ments.

In a re­lease is­sued Mon­day, the CPL said Tri­dents had signed Aus­tralian all-rounder Dan Chris­t­ian as a re­place­ment for Asif Ali, who has left the team due to do­mes­tic com­mit­ments in Pak­istan.

Chris­t­ian, 36, is an ex­pe­ri­enced T20 play­er and last played in the CPL with the Trin­ba­go Knight Rid­ers dur­ing their suc­cess­ful 2017 ti­tle chase. He has played 293 T20 match­es across his ca­reer and cam­paigned in the T20 Blast in Eng­land, In­di­an Pre­mier League, Pak­istan Su­per League and the Aus­tralian Big Bash.

Chris­t­ian has worn Aussie colours in T20s 16 times and has scored two T20 hun­dreds and tak­en two five-wick­et hauls over his ca­reer.

The Zouks mean­while have signed on South African Col­in In­gram to re­place Sri Lankan This­ara Per­era, who has been re­called to his coun­try for a train­ing camp.

In­gram, 34, played with the suc­cess­ful TKR unit for the lat­ter half of last sea­son. He too has played in the Aus­tralian Big Bash, In­di­an Pre­mier League and T20 Blast in the UK.

He has played in 250 T20s and scored four hun­dreds, 38 fifties and over 6,000 runs and is ex­pect­ed to be a ma­jor boost to a Zouks unit seek­ing to make the CPL play­offs for the first time since 2016.

TKR have al­so lost the ser­vices of 19-year-old pac­er Mo­ham­mad Has­nain, who has been re­called by the Pak­istan Crick­et Board for im­pend­ing in­ter­na­tion­al du­ty al­though he had pre­vi­ous­ly been giv­en per­mis­sion to play for the en­tire sea­son. How­ev­er, TKR are yet to name a re­place­ment for him.
