The St Kitts & Nevis Patriots are a Caribbean Premier League (CPL) cricket franchise based in Saint Kitts and Nevis that participated in the competition for the first time in 2015. The team plays its home games at Warner Park, Basseterre, located on Saint Kitts, and, like the league's other franchises, draws the majority of its players from West Indian domestic teams.
History
The league's first expansion team, the new franchise was announced on 27th January 2015, supported by the Saint Kitts & Nevis government as well as the local business community.[1] During the 2014 CPL tournament, Warner Park hosted nine matches, played over 10 days in August and accompanied by several carnivals and other entertainments. The venue hosted the final six group-stage matches, and then the finals series, comprising two semi-finals and the final between Barbados Tridents and the Guyana Amazon Warriors.[2]
The Saint Kitts and Nevis franchise effectively replaced the Antigua Hawksbills franchise (based in Antigua and Barbuda), although it was intended that the Hawksbills franchise would be revived at a later date, with the CPL consequently featuring seven teams rather than six.[3] The Hawksbills were primarily removed from the competition in order to make scheduling easier, though their poor results and lack of a private owner also contributed to their removal.[4] Saint Kitts and Nevis nominated four previous Hawksbills players – Justin Athanaze, Carlos Brathwaite, Orlando Peters, and Devon Thomas – as their "retained players" prior to the 2015 CPL Draft.[5] South African Eric Simons, formerly senior coach of the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League (IPL), was confirmed as the franchise's inaugural coach in early February 2015.[6] Simons was tasked with building the team's coaching structure ahead of its inaugural 2015 CPL season.
