Players in the Caribbean Twenty20 Premier League draft have been divided into three groups, with a few players from each slated to form a squad of 15 for every participating franchise. There are six teams in all - Antigua, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Lucia, and Trinidad and Tobago. Pool A features international cricketers- 14 from West Indies and 12 from overseas. Pool B includes six international and over 100 local players, a few of whom have represented West Indies. Under-23 players from across the country will make up Pool C. The draft will take place on June 5 in Jamaica.
A head coach, assistant coach, one West Indian and one international player, designated as 'franchise players' (who will be among the 15), will make up each team's selection committee, which will be in charge of all strategies for the draft. These franchise players are not classified under the pools and will be appointed to each team by the league.
Ross Taylor, Muttiah Muralitharan, Herschelle Gibbs, Adam Gilchrist, Mohammad Hafeez and Ricky Ponting make up the international franchise players, while Marlon Samuels, Darren Sammy, Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine, Dwayne Bravo and Chris Gayle form their West Indies counterparts.
Apart from the two franchise players, each team can pick four players from Pool A, seven players from Pool B and two from Pool C. Players selected from Pool C have to be under 23 years of age before September 1, 2013. All teams are expected to work under a salary cap, which is yet to be specified. A total of 24 matches will be played in the competition that starts on 30 July and ends on August 24.
