Manager of the Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) Colin Borde said the local players will ramp up preparations for the 2020 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) as the government starts to relax covid19 measures.

The coaches have decided a schedule alongside some senior players and the expectation is that July we will see a ramp up of activities with the local players.”

TKR retained nine TT players for the tournament including Dwayne Bravo, Darren Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine, Lendl Simmons, Khary Pierre, Akeal Hosein, Amir Jangoo and Tion Webster.

In terms of the overseas TKR players, Borde said, “Those out of the country have their respective programmes and plans to reach certain set targets.”

Borde said the TKR staff would ensure the players gradually get back into a more intense training programme.
