Coach Phil Simmons has said that he could be back from injury by October 5, in time for the playoffs.Tridents have not replaced him in the interim, since, according to Simmons, they could not find an “adequate replacement” for the batsman.”He should only start back playing (by October) 5,” Simmons was quoted as saying by . “We have not replaced Shai Hope because, when we look around the Caribbean, we could not find an adequate replacement.”Tridents are currently fifth on the points table, with two wins in six games. They have four more games remaining in the league stage.
England seamer Chris Jordan has signed for Trinbago Knight Riders for the remainder of the CPL. He comes in as a replacement for Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Hasnain.Jordan has a wealth of T20 experience around the world in England, Australia, India, Bangladesh and New Zealand, but this is his first stint in the CPL. Ironically, Jordan could make his debut against his native Barbados in Thursday night’s game.Despite an underwhelming Vitality Blast season for Sussex, Jordan has kept his spot in England’s T20I squads for their five-match series in New Zealand – though with youngsters Saqib Mahmood and Pat Brown also picked, he will need to perform well to confirm his status as their main death bowler.Hasnain departs Trinbago after taking six wickets in four games and impressing with his pace, though he did leak 9.68 runs per over. He has returned to Pakistan to fulfil domestic and international commitments.
Bangladesh allrounder Shakib Al Hasan has signed with Barbados Tridents for the remainder of the CPL and is set to join the team ahead of their match against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots in Bridgetown on September 28. He replaces legspinner Sandeep Lamichhane in the squad, who will be leaving for national duty.Shakib has previously been part of three seasons of the tournament – in 2013, 2016 and 2017 – where, in 24 games, he made 243 runs and picked up 25 wickets, playing for Tridents and Jamaica Tallawahs. He holds the record for the best figures in the tournament, when he picked up 6 for 6, playing for Tridents against Trinbago Knight Riders in 2013.Shakib will join Tridents on the back of impressive performances in the World Cup and the T20I tri-series that followed, against Afghanistan and Zimbabwe at home. He scored 606 runs in eight matches at an average of 86.57 in the World Cup. In the tri-series, he has made 96 runs in four games and picked up four wickets.With two wins in six games, Tridents are currently at No. 4 on the points table.

On the third ball of the Super Over, Lewis set off for a second run but the bowler Ali Khan got in his way. There wasn’t a run, but Lewis didn’t look pleased and pushed the bowler away.

ESPNcricinfo understands that the injury is not serious and Narine will continue to feature in the rest of CPL.Christian set to turn out for Barbados TridentsAustralian allrounder Daniel Christian will replace big-hitting Pakistan batsman Asif Ali at Barbados Tridents for the rest of the CPL season.

He comes fresh from the Vitality Blast in England, where he played for Nottinghamshire, scoring 168 runs in nine innings and claiming seven wickets from eight innings with his medium pace.

Jade Dernbach has found his way to the CPL for the first time, linking up with Jamaica Tallawahs.
