00:00All-rounder Navin Bidasi was rewarded for his efforts in the inaugural CWI Breakout
00:05League by being picked for this year's CPL.
00:07He will represent St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, which includes his teammate Jed Gulli.
00:13Bidasi played a big part in helping TNT Legions win the Breakout League.
00:17He took 10 wickets and played a few important knocks, including 56 knot-out against Wynwood
00:21Island's Infernoos.
00:22Definitely really ecstatic.
00:24I think it's a blessing, so thank God for that first of all.
00:28Really excited.
00:29It's always been a dream of mine growing up, you know, watching cricket on local TV.
00:36So it's always been a goal of mine to be playing in CPL.
00:40But he isn't the only one who's happy with his accomplishment.
00:43After all, Bidasi wouldn't have been here today without the support of two important individuals.
00:48Definitely my parents, they are overjoyed, you know, all the sacrifices they made, you
00:54know, seeing it actually pay off.
00:56So they were really excited and can't wait to come and watch some of the games.
01:00For Bidasi, the journey has now started.
01:03It means that the former Hillview College student has to put in the work to be ready
01:06for the region's most prestigious T20 tournament.
01:08Obviously, I'm all around, so I try to stay good with both bat ball and in the field.
01:12So, you know, during every session I try to get in that batting, try to get bowling.
01:17So, it's been working out pretty well, so happy with it.
01:21The lad from Bish is surrounded by those who have been involved in the game for many years.
01:25As such, he often picks their brains so he can improve his game.
01:29Yeah, definitely.
01:30I think Coach Riyad, he has been in my ears a lot.
01:35Also, the senior guys, some of my teammates, they've been telling me, you know, just keep
01:39doing what you're doing all the time, you've been doing well, so just keep it simple and
01:42just keep believing in yourself and everything will work out pretty fine.
01:46The Republic Bank's CPL starts August 14th and runs until September 21st.
01:52And what does Bidesi want to achieve at this year's tournament?
01:54Some of my goals would be, obviously, firstly to be in the 11th.
01:59I'm a bowling all-rounder as well, so hopefully to pick up some wickets and just, you know,
02:04just experiment.
02:05I always like experimenting and seeing what I can do on a regional and international stage.
02:09Time will tell if Bidesi makes the final 11 when St Kitts and Nevis Patriots play their
02:14CPL opener against Antigua and Barbada Falcons.
02:20of course!
02:21Of course, the South 1st.
02:26Google will say the result on Bidesi.
02:30St Kitts and Nevisites are all the wrong way.
02:32That sounds perfect.
02:34So far as if we make sense to our family and places, we can challenge you with hosts, and
02:39to accept the seniors.
02:40And next to our family, …
02:41Apostle and theادmest затopes will tell you what we have.
