Guyana’s team has performed very well in the last season, too, as usual. They reached the final under the captaincy of Imran Tahir but couldn’t win the final.
Now, in this season of CPL 2025, the 13th season of the Caribbean Premier League, they would want to make a stronger team that can win tournaments for them.
Although they have not officially released the player’s retention list, most probably, these will be their retained players this season. The list is purely based on the performance of players in the last tournament.
1. Imran Tahir (C) (Bowler)
Imran Tahir is a former legendary leg spinner of South Africa who has played hundreds of international matches in cricket. South Africa will be the first retention. He captained this side in the last season and took his side into the CPL finals in 2024.
2. Shimron Hetmyer (Batter)
Shimron Hetmyer is an explosive batsman who bats in the top order and middle order as a specialist power hitter. He has also performed very well in the last season, playing a gem of an inning against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots. Moreover, he has also provided his team with finishing touches at the end of overs.
3. Shai Hope (Batter & WK)
In recent years, it is not hidden how much Shai Hope has improved his batting for the shorter version of cricket. He was always marvelous in ODIs, but now he is equally good in T20s. He is playing as the main batting star in this team, and fans would love to watch him shine again in this CPL season 13.
4. Moeen Ali (Allrounder)
Moeen Ali is the most experienced all-rounder in the GAW squad who always performs when it matters. Like in the last season, he took his team to the finals by scoring 44 runs and taking 2 wickets for just 24 runs. He would be a game-changing player for Guyana this season, too.
5. Rahmanullah Gurbaz (Batter & WK)
Gurbaz is one of the most aggressive openers in league cricket. He has played in many leagues and will be part of the Guyana Warriors this year as an opener. In the last season, he performed very well and gave his team quick starts, which he demanded. And in this season, he will be doing the same.
6. Romario Shepherd (Allrounder)
Romario Shepherd is the kind of player who can turn the tables for his side on his day. He did it in the last season and has been doing it for the Windies too, for the past 3 to 4 years. So, including him as retention will give GAW an edge.
