Brandon king
Brandon King is leading the side; he is a young West Indian talent who has been performing very well for his nation at the international level. Last season, he was injured and joined the team late, but still he couldn’t make the mark as he was only able to score fewer runs. Antigua & Barbuda Falcons have shown confidence in him and have retained him as skipper forthe CPL season 2025.
Muhammad Amir
Muhammad Amir is known for his skillful bowling all across the world, he has played thousands of matches in different leagues. In the last season, he played 7 matches and took 5 wickets with very little economy. He also holds the record for the highest number of maiden overs bowled by any bowler. This season, CPL 2025, Muhammad Amir has been retained, and he will be leading the ABF bowling side.
Fakhar Zaman
Fakhar played 5 matches only in the last season, and he was the top performer for Antigua & Barbuda Falcons. he made 159 runs at a healthy average of 31 runs and a good strike rate of 133. Fakhar Zaman is known for his aggressive approach at the top of the order. He plays spin very well and also attacks seamers all around the ground. So, retaining him as the opening batsman is such a great decision.
Imad Waseem
Imad is also a very experienced Pakistani all-rounder who has been part of the CPL for so long. He has played for many teams in different leagues. He not only bowls in power play, but he can bat in the lower order as well. IN the last season, he performed well in several matches he played for ABF, even finishing a few matches.
Chris Green
Chris Green is surely a first-pick retain player for any team because of the value he provides to the team. Chris can bat and bowl equally well. In the last season, he single handedly took a match for ABF, striking 48 runs at the end of the inning and taking 4 wickets in a single match.
