Notably, Rashid Khan was the leading wicket-taker for Barbados Tridents in the previous season. He took 11 wickets in his 10 matches with an economy rate of 6.85. He proved to be useful with the bat as well.
However unlike 2019 in which Barbados Tridents were champions, in 2020 they ended up in 5th position in CPL. Let us see whom will Barbados sign up to make up for Rashid’s absence.
