Trinbago Knight Riders, the most successful team in CPL history, has announced its retained players list for CPL 2025. As expected, they have retained the same West Indies players who have been winning since 2025.
Trinbago Knight Riders has always been a firm side, combining all of their country’s best players with some of the explosive overseas talent like Ali Khan, Jason Roy, Tim David, and Waqar Salamkheil. They have strong chances this coming year, too, to reclaim their trophy, which they won last time in 2020. TKR Squad has all the potential in the world to do so again.
For season 2025, they have retained 8 players, including the following players,
| Player | Role | Score/Wickets |
|---|---|---|
| Nicholas Pooran | Batsman | 423 runs (1 century, 2 fifties) |
| Sunil Narine | All-rounder | 12 wickets, SR 156+ (batting) |
| Kieron Pollard | Captain, All-rounder | Match-winning innings, few wickets |
| Andre Russell | All-rounder | No stats (retained for impact) |
| Josh Little | Fast Bowler | Match-winning innings, a few wickets |

Nicholas Pooran
Nicholas Pooran has been the most impactful player for TKR for the last few seasons. In CPL 2024, he performed very well, scoring 423 runs in just 10 matches. He scored a winning century and 2 fifties as well. That’s why TKR has retained him as their main striker for the CPL season 2025.
Sunil Narine
It has been a year since Sunil Narine performed for his side, TKR, in the CPL. He has been the most consistent all-rounder who plays the role of explosive opener and front-line mystery spinner. In the last season, he took 12 wickets and scored a few runs, with a strike rate of 156+. But we all know that on his day, he can single-handedly turn the game, so that’s why Trinbago has retained him for the CPL 2025 season.
Kieron Pollard
Pollard has the most important role in the TKR team because he is the captain of the side, he is the finisher, he is the mentor, and he is the one preparing the future for TKR. Pollard captained the side last season and won 5 out of 8 matches. Moreover, he also played a match-winning inning, along with some handy wickets. Having Pollard in your team is such a luxury, so that’s why TKR retained him.
Andre Russell
Andre Russell is one of the best shorter format all-rounder in the world, who has won hundreds of matches with his all-round performances, so that’s why TKR has always trusted him and retained him in the coming season. Although in the last, because of fitness issues, he was not fully available, I hope he will play all the matches in CPL 2025.
Josh Little
Josh Little is an Irish fast bowler who has made his name in T20 cricket as a great new ball bowler and death bowling specialist. He has proven it time and time again on the international stage and in different leagues around the world. That’s why TKR has retained him also. He will be leading the bowling side of Trinbago.
