Klaasen and du Plessis signed by St. Lucia Kings for CPL 2024

St. Lucia Kings have confirmed the players they have retained and signed ahead of the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024 draft. They have 12 confirmed players for the 2024 season and will have five spots to fill at the draft in July.

The Kings will feature South African superstars Faf du Plessis and Heinrich Klaasen who will give serious firepower to the St. Lucian franchise’s batting line-up in 2024.

The Kings have also secured the services of Afghan left-arm spinner Noor Ahmed, Namibian seam bowling all-rounder David Wiese and Sri Lanka top-order batter Bhanuka Rajapaksa.

They have retained the core of Caribbean players that helped them secure a fourth consecutive playoff spot in 2023 with Johnson Charles, Alzarri Joseph, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde and Khary Pierre all returning for 2024.
