00:00Explosive batter Ravman Powell has been retained by the Barbados Royals for the 2025 Republic Bank CPL.
00:07For him, it's a pleasure to be representing the franchise once again.
00:11It's always good to be back with the Royals.
00:13You know, I spent two seasons with them and two seasons where we have gotten closer as a franchise
00:19and we are moving the right direction.
00:21You know, we have made some new signings.
00:23Brandon King and Shuffian Rutherford are two of the new local signings from us.
00:29You know, son, it's exciting times.
00:31Also by the Royals is Kofi James, who made 240 runs,
00:35that being the most by any batter in the inaugural CWI breakout league.
00:39And Powell is looking forward to the new signing.
00:42We've decided that maybe we need to find a few new players, you know,
00:46to add to our rosters to see how best we can improve it.
00:49And Kofi James is one of those players, you know,
00:52he's been the leading one scorer in the breakout league that has just concluded.
00:56And he looks like somebody who is ready.
00:59He looks like somebody who once given the opportunity is fearless, you know,
01:02and that is something we like about him.
01:05One man who is no longer with the Barbados Royals is all-rounder Jason Holder,
01:09who will be playing for the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots.
01:12The 33-year-old Bajan is quite keen to represent his new franchise.
01:16Yeah, the move comes at a very good time, in my opinion.
01:20Yeah, it's something that I've thought about for a bit.
01:23And yeah, I think now is the perfect time to embark on something new,
01:27a new challenge, as I said before.
01:29And for me, I'm really excited for the opportunity.
01:31I think, you know, what we've been able to put together so far at St. Kitts,
01:34you know, I'm really happy with.
01:36And it's just a matter for us just, you know, plan and execute.
01:39Plan and execute.
01:40So, look, it's a new birth. It's a new opportunity.
