St. Lucia Zouks call up Kiwi Elliott as CPL replacement for Leie

New Zealand ICC Cricket World Cup finalist to link up with Zouks squad ahead of CPL season

The St. Lucia Zouks have added New Zealand all-rounder Grant Elliott to their squad ahead of the Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) campaign as Eddie Leie has been ruled out due to a finger injury.

South African-born Elliott, who was a star for the Black Caps on their march to the ICC Cricket World Cup final in 2015, has played 16 T20 Internationals to date and boasts a career first-class batting average of 30.57. With the ball, the medium-pace bowler has also claimed 92 first-class wickets and will add greater competition to the Zouks panel ahead of their CPL opener against Trinbago Knight Riders in the Queen’s Park Oval on Wednesday, 29 June.

Elliott joins an overseas contingent which also includes Australia duo Shane Watson and Michael Hussey, South African duo David Miller and Morne Morkel and will be captained once more by Darren Sammy, one of three ICC World T20 champions in the Zouks panel alongside Johnson Charles and Andre Fletcher.

The Zouks will take on four opponents in a combination of day and night time games in a big month for the island with the hugely popular Lucian Carnival set to attract big numbers to the island once more.

The opening home match against the Patriots is sure to attract a large following and is one not to be missed as it will mark the launch of the newly re-named 12,400 capacity Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, previously known as the Beauséjour Stadium. Fans will also get to be a part of history for the opening of the newly-renamed Johnson Charles Stand.

*Tickets for all CPL fixtures in the Caribbean and Fort Lauderdale are on sale now from www.cplt20.com.

St. Lucia Zouks Home Fixtures (all times local): 21 July – St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots (6pm), 23 July – Barbados Tridents (12 Midday), 24 July – Guyana Amazon Warriors (5pm), 26 July – Trinbago Knight Riders (6pm)
