The Barbados Royals have officially announced their team for the eagerly awaited CPL 2025 season, signaling the start of an electrifying new chapter for Caribbean cricket. The exclusive show for the official player draft, presented by charismatic Alex Jordan, went out on Wednesday, 18 June, at 10 AM ECT / 3 PM BST / 7:30 PM IST, giving fans a ringside seat to it all. With expert analysis from cricket commentators Daren Ganga and Nikhil Uttamchandani, the broadcast provided a first-hand look at the Royals' mix of seasoned campaigners and promising newcomers.

The Royals have signed three overseas players on a calculated note to add depth to their side: South African wicket-keeper batsman Quinton de Kock, Afghan spinner Mujeeb ur Rahman, and Afghan all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai. With the flexibility to add two more international stars before the tournament begins, the franchise is still well placed to tweak their team. The 2025 CPL season will run from 14 August to 21 September, with the tournament commencing in St. Kitts & Nevis, traveling through several Caribbean countries, and concluding with the playoffs and grand final in Guyana.

This season's draft provided a twist in that the last three rounds were allocated to West Indies Breakout League players, guaranteeing each team has at least one up-and-coming player on the field for each game. The Barbados Royals, taking this new movement on board, are poised to provide six weeks of exciting T20 action, mixing flair, muscle, and dynamism as they chase championship victory.

Barbados Royals Squad for CPL 2025

The 2025 Barbados Royals team consists of Rovman Powell, Brandon King, Sherfane Rutherford, Quinton de Kock, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Azmatullah Omarzai, Jomel Warrican, Kadeem Alleyne, Shaqkere Parris, Kofi James, Nyeem Young, Rivaldo Clarke, Zishan Motara, Johann Layne, and Ramon Simmonds.

Why is Azmatullah Omarzai Not Playing? Mystery Surrounds His Absence

 Kabul, April 1, 2025: In his absence, Omarzai has stirred controversy for his lack of appearances, while cricket aides and fans have had a field day theorizing his head scratching absence. It is still unclear why the omnipresent ACB has not released a statement in regards to Omarzai’s absence when it is clear he played so well throughout the year of 2024.  

Omarzai is expected to be awarded the ICC Men's ODI cricketer of the year after he single handedly and multiple times exceeded brand ROI with his 4.3 million USD magical 2024 global ODI season. On top of his national squad calamitous performances, Omarzai led the offense with two dozen plus fours and a dozen sixes in a match against Ireland and batted South Africa and Bangladesh into submission where he single handily scored 417 runs with a whopping average of 52.12. He also took 17 wickets with his world record ever claiming them at staggering proportion of 14 matches which aided his team to win during magic times. 

Where is the ACB or the fans? The followers are yet to receive any valid reports on the absence and it has been a persisting mystery why. The guesswork behind such takes have resembled that he might be on the sidelines with an injury, but others noting a link does not exist lean to champion Omarzai’s past disciplinary issues. As it looks, ACB is morbidly obscured and hiding Omarzai in turn everybody in riding clad is glued to the thought.

Azmatullah Omarzai not in playing XI for LSG vs PBKS match

Azmatullah Omarzai is not part of Punjab Kings playing XI as New Zealand’s Lockie Ferguson plays his first match of the season. Ferguson had missed Punjab Kings’ match against Gujarat Titans due to a foot injury he sustained during the Pakistan vs New Zealand clash in the 2025 Champions Trophy in February. He has recovered from the injury and thus features in the Punjab Kings playing XI against Lucknow Super Giants.

Another reason for Azmatullah Omarzai’s omission is because Punjab Kings already have plenty of all-rounders in the playing XI. In the current playing XI against Lucknow Super Giants, Punjab Kings have Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Shashank Singh and Suryansh Shedge as their all-rounders. As a result, the Punjab Kings were probably looking to balance between all-rounders, batters and bowlers.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings (LSG vs PBKS) has been scheduled for the 13th match of the IPL 2025 on Tuesday evening (April 1), while Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium (Lucknow) will host it. Let's check the Dream11 top captains and vice-captains of the match.

Afghanistan Team did an impossible thing once again by beating England with 8 runs of margin. Earlier too they beat England in ICC World Cup 2023 which was held in India, In that too they beat England by 69 runs. It has been a great growth of the Afghanistan team not only challenging big teams but beating them convincingly. This is not just a one-day process but took a year of preserving. 

They were great in associate nation matches and performed extremely well to attain this position at what they are today. Some players are not associated with it today but have been a part of this process and would be extremely happy today with what their team has achieved. It was a do-or-die situation for both teams but in the end, it was Afghanistan who held their nerves to pull off a massive victory.

Ibrahim Zadran And Azmatullah Omarzai Heroics

Both England and Afghanistan were in a do-or-die situation if they had to qualify anyone would have to win the game, the game had all the elements of twists and turns that a cricket fan would enjoy a lot. Afghanistan won the toss and chose to bat first though the wickets were crumbling at one end but Ibrahim Zadran was in his zone he just blasted the runs flow with boundaries and sixes. He faced 146 balls scoring 177 runs which is equally half of the score attained by Afghanistan in his innings he has hit 12 fours and 6 sixes. 

 With the support of his innings, Afghanistan gave England the target of 326 runs which was quite achievable in the modern era and with the type of form English batters had attained it would be a slicer. But sometimes an unusual thing happens in cricket.

 Azmatullah Omarzai came in between of England's victory. England too had a cozy start at the score of 30 runs they lost 2 wickets. But it was Joe Root who kept one end ticking but the other end became a path hole where batsmen get digging. They never had an answer to Omarzai deliveries even Root after completing his century became the victim of Omarzai itself. He took 5 wickets haul giving only 58 runs in his quota. 

Sachin Tendulkar Couldn't Hold On

After the victory of Afghanistan even God of Cricket Sachin Tendulkar couldn't control his emotions he even tweeted in his account and congratulated the whole team and said Now Afghanistan steady and constent rise is truly inspiring and they can't be considered as upsets anymore. 

Afghanistan’s steady and consistent rise in international cricket has been inspiring! You can’t term their wins as upsets any more, they’ve made this a habit now.

A superb century by @IZadran18 and a wonderful five-for by @AzmatOmarzay, sealed another memorable win for Afghanistan.… pic.twitter.com/J1MVULDtKC

 TThe way Afghanistan team and their cricket has been evolved is truly remarkable now it is a gate opener for them at their given day they can be heavy on any team. 

It was an epic encounter between England and Afghanistan it was a do-or-die match for both team where they entered this match with a loss, where Afghanistan was beaten by South Africa and England was beaten by Australia so it was a quarter-final between both of these teams, the one who wins the game stays and the other has to go home. 

England had the advantage where they had beaten Afghanistan 2 times in this format but Afghanistan is a team that can't be written off they can beat any team on a given day. Afghanistan have also beaten England once that too in the 2023 World Cup which happened in India. So underestimating Afghanistan is at your own risk.

Zadran Brilliant Century Made A Base 

This was much anticipated match where both the teams were entering with a loss. Afghanistan won the toss and Captain Sahidi choose to bat first. At the start of innings they had a thought whether they committed a mistake. But Zadran kept the things go on. Because they lost the wicket of Gurbaaz who went cheaply and rest of few too went early but partnership between Zadran and Sahidi went on. 

Afghanistan was back on track soon where Zadran was looking in elite touch dispatching bad balls to the boundary and rotating the strike as well so the scoreboard stood ticking. Soon Sahidi got out then Azmatullah joined the party with Zadran it was no stopping for him. Zadran scored a brilliant century which was his first but he didn't stop there after his century he rolled over English bowlers more aggressively. He scored a brilliant 177 runs facing 146 balls. He was well supported by Nabi too. With a collective effort Afghanistan scored 325 runs with a loss of 7 wickets. 

Azmatullah Omarzai The Warrior For Afghanistan

IIn the previous match it was England bowling who costed them the match though scoring a mamoth total of 350 above runs they lost the match against Australia, Thanks to the innings of Josh Inglis who just not scored a quick century but ensured Australia seal the match. So here England too had a dangerous batting and it was chasable total in Lahore. But things were looking differently for England here.

They lost 2 wickets at the score of 30 pressure started to mount on for England as Omarzai started the damage. Though Joe Root was batting beautifully at one the other wickets were piling up. Before reaching 150 England lost 4 wickets., then a steady partnership between Root and Butler came where they developed an 83-run partnership where Root too completed his brilliant century. Soon Butler departed for 38 and Livingston came to rebuild the damage a 53-run partnership between them gave England solidity. But Azmatullah took root off and it was the nail in the coffin. 

Root departed for 120 runs then it was no stopping for Afghanistan they took the wickets quickly and even England too was nearing the chase so it was on a stage who did it first either Afghanistan would all out England or England's batsman would make a, steal. In the end, Jofra Archer tried too hard too but it was too late it seemed as if England were bowled out at the end with 8 runs remaining to score last 20 minutes were an absolute thriller either who would win and Afghanistan players held their nerves and won the match and pushed their chances forward. Azmatullah  Omarzai took 5 wickets and was the leader of the bowling pack. With this England had been out of Champions Trophy 2025, Where Ibrahim Zadran was awarded with Man Of The Match award.
