The franchise announced their retentions for the CPL 2021 on Saturday (May 22) and it also held on to the likes of Rovman Powell, Chadwick Walton and Fidel Edwards, who returned to the CPL last year and impressed one and all with his pace.

Moreover, the Tallawahs also kept Verasammy Permaul and Ryan Persaud in their ranks.

"The Tallawahs have 10 spots to fill to complete their squad and these will be announced in the coming weeks," read a statement on the CPL website.
