Hafeez tipped to join Guyana Amazon Warriors

Experienced Pakistan batsman, Mohammad Hafeez, is tipped to be signed by Guyana Amazon Warriors for this year’s edition of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), which starts on August 28.

A reliable source confirmed to News Room Sport on Wednesday that the all-rounder is set to be signed by the Warriors.

The 40-year-old Hafeez previously represented the Amazon Warriors in both the 2013 and 2014 seasons for a combined 18 matches. He played for St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots in 2017 and 2019.

Amazon Warriors have retained 11 of the players who guided them to the semi-finals of the 2020 event.

Nicholas Pooran made the only century of last year’s tournament and he will be back with the Warriors this year along with Shimron Hetmyer and Brandon King.

The Warriors will also be welcoming back South African leg spinner, Imran Tahir, and Afghan fast bowler, Naveen ul Haq.

The squad also features up and coming Guyanese players, Kevin Sinclair and Ashmead Nedd, both of whom impressed in 2020 at their first Hero CPL.

The Amazon Warriors have six spots left to fill in their squad. The entire CPL 2021 will take place in St Kitts and Nevis.
