The player draft for the 2025 edition of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL)  was held on June 18, with all six franchises finalizing their squads ahead of the tournament’s much-anticipated return. The 2025 CPL is expected to be held between August 14th and September 21st and is expected to be six weeks of explosive T20 action across the Caribbean.

All six participating teams—Antigua & Barbuda Falcons, Barbados Royals, Guyana Amazon Warriors, St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, Saint Lucia Kings, and Trinbago Knight Riders—actively participated in the draft process. Several key trades had taken place ahead of the event, including a headline move that saw Jason Holder and Alick Athanaze join the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots from the Barbados Royals in exchange for Sherfane Rutherford.

A key change from this year’s draft was the inclusion of the West Indies Breakout League, a developmental initiative by Cricket West Indies. The final three rounds of the draft were intended for this league, as CPL teams must now start one of these players in every match in an attempt to solidify the region's development pathways.
