CPL Final Preview...As Kieran Called It! Antigua & Barbuda Falcons v Jamaica | PowettPlay Podcast
The Caribbean Premier League 2026 Final is here, and on this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and Kieran Powell break down the huge showdown between the Jamaica Kingsmen and Antigua & Barbuda Falcons as the battle for the CPL 2026 title reaches its climax. At the heart of the discussion is a fascinating clash of strengths: Jamaica’s explosive batting line-up against Antigua’s formidable bowling attack. Can Jamaica’s powerful top order take control of the final, or will the Falcons’ bowling unit deliver when the pressure is at its highest? Kieran remains confident in his prediction that Jamaica will lift the CPL trophy, highlighting their aggressive approach with the bat, their growing momentum and the tactical influence of players such as Keacy Carty. Jordan and Kieran reflect on Jamaica’s recent performances and discuss how their late-tournament momentum mirrors some of the dramatic franchise cricket turnarounds seen across other major T20 competitions. The conversation also explores the importance of experience in a high-pressure CPL Final, with particular focus on the influence of veteran West Indies star Andre Russell and the value of having proven big-game players when a championship is on the line. With the final taking place at Kensington Oval in Barbados, the hosts also assess the conditions, the potential importance of the toss, and how both teams may adapt their tactics depending on whether they bat or bowl first. Antigua’s bowling strength, Jamaica’s attacking batting approach and the ability of both sides to handle the pressure of a final all come under the spotlight. With two contrasting teams competing for the Caribbean Premier League title, Jordan and Kieran give their thoughts on what could decide the contest and look ahead to what promises to be a highly competitive conclusion to CPL 2026. Who do YOU think will be crowned Caribbean Premier League champions?

Kieran Powell Picks His West Indies T20 Squad vs India | Hetmyer Captain?! PowettPlay Podcast
Jordan Shannon and West Indies international Kieran Powell are back on the PowettPlay Podcast to break down the upcoming India vs West Indies T20 series, with Kieran naming his ideal West Indies T20 squad for the tour of India. With the West Indies T20 setup continuing to evolve, Jordan and Kieran debate whether this is the perfect opportunity to give exciting young players such as Zachary Carter and Kamil Pooran a chance on the international stage. With modern T20 cricket demanding fearless, explosive batting, the discussion looks at which players have the power, versatility and temperament required to compete against one of the strongest sides in world cricket. A major talking point is workload management, with Kieran explaining why he would leave out established star Shai Hope and keep him fresh ahead of the hugely important ICC Cricket World Cup qualifiers. Should West Indies use the India series to test their depth rather than continually relying on their senior players? The captaincy also comes under the spotlight. Kieran makes the case for Shimron Hetmyer as West Indies T20 captain, pointing to his extensive franchise cricket experience, tactical understanding and knowledge of high-pressure T20 environments. Could giving Hetmyer greater responsibility unlock another level in his game? Jordan and Kieran also analyse the challenges West Indies will face in Indian conditions, including adapting to higher bowling speeds, attacking smaller boundaries and building batting combinations capable of maintaining pressure throughout an innings. The importance of left-right batting partnerships, adaptable bowling options and selecting versatile all-rounders also plays a major part in Kieran's squad selection. Who makes Kieran Powell's 15-man West Indies T20 squad for India? Which established names miss out? And could the next generation of West Indies players use this series to stake their claim ahead of the next major ICC tournaments? Join Jordan Shannon and Kieran Powell for another in-depth PowettPlay discussion covering West Indies cricket, India vs West Indies, T20 cricket, West Indies squad selection, Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope, young Caribbean cricketers, World Cup qualification and the future of West Indies cricket. #WestIndiesCricket #INDvWI #WIvIND #WestIndies #TeamIndia #T20Cricket #KieranPowell #ShimronHetmyer #ShaiHope #PowettPlay #CricketPodcast #WestIndiesT20 #CaribbeanCricket #CricketWestIndies #T20I #IndiaCricket Learn more about your ad choices.

No Chase, No Shamar? West Indies Squad Debate for India | PowettPlay Podcast
In this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and former West Indies opener Kieran Powell take a detailed look at a proposed 15-man West Indies ODI squad for the upcoming tour of India, debating selection, squad rotation, workload management and the bigger picture surrounding the crucial road to ICC Cricket World Cup qualification. With the World Cup qualifiers firmly on the horizon, Jordan and Kieran discuss whether West Indies should use the India ODI series as an opportunity to rest key players including Shamar Joseph and Roston Chase, protecting their workloads while creating opportunities for fringe players and emerging talent to prove they belong at international level. The conversation explores the potential return of Rahkeem Cornwall and what his inclusion could offer West Indies in Indian conditions, particularly through his unique style of off-spin bowling. With spin expected to play a major role on the subcontinent, the proposed squad raises important questions around bowling variety, selection depth and whether West Indies have enough options capable of succeeding against one of the strongest batting line-ups in world cricket. Jordan and Kieran also discuss why facing India in India could provide the perfect litmus test for inexperienced players. There is nowhere to hide against elite international opposition, and this series could quickly establish which players are ready for what Kieran describes as “big man cricket” and which areas of the squad still require strengthening. Beyond individual selection, the episode looks at the importance of establishing clear performance benchmarks for West Indies ODI cricket. What should constitute a competitive batting total? How many runs should the top order consistently contribute? What standards should be expected from the bowling attack? And how can West Indies use these matches to build a settled, competitive squad ahead of the high-pressure World Cup qualification campaign? With West Indies cricket, India vs West Indies, ODI cricket, World Cup qualifiers, Rahkeem Cornwall, Roston Chase, Shamar Joseph, squad rotation, emerging Caribbean talent and international selection all under discussion, this episode provides an in-depth look at how West Indies can balance immediate results with long-term preparation for one of the most important periods in their ODI future. #WestIndiesCricket #WIvsIND #IndiaVsWestIndies #WestIndies #Cricket #ODICricket #KieranPowell #RahkeemCornwall #RostonChase #ShamarJoseph #WorldCupQualifiers #CricketPodcast #CaribbeanCricket #PowettPlay #TeamWestIndies Learn more about your ad choices.

Kieran Powell Names 19 players In Contention For The West Indies Tour Of India | PowettPlay Podcast
In this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and former West Indies international Kieran Powell turn their attention to the upcoming West Indies tour of India, with Kieran naming 19 players he believes should be in contention for selection. No Roston Chase, Shamar Joseph or Matthew Forde?! Zachary Carter in?! Listen and find out who makes Kieran’s potential West Indies squad and why. With the crucial World Cup qualifiers on the horizon, Jordan and Kieran debate the importance of squad rotation and workload management, and whether some of the West Indies’ senior players should be rested in order to ensure they are fresh and available for the matches that could define the team's immediate future. The discussion explores a potential squad featuring a mixture of established West Indies batters, emerging players, seam-bowling all-rounders, fast bowlers and spin options, as the selectors look to build a more settled and competitive group capable of challenging the strongest teams in international cricket. Who deserves an opportunity against India? Which players could force their way into the long-term plans? And how can West Indies Cricket expand its player pool without sacrificing results? Jordan and Kieran examine the balance between winning in the present and planning for the future, with the India series potentially providing an important testing ground for players on the fringes of selection. Facing high-quality international opposition would offer the selectors a valuable opportunity to assess which players are genuinely ready to perform at the highest level. The episode also looks at the wider strategy required to improve West Indies squad depth, manage an increasingly demanding international and franchise cricket schedule, and establish a core group capable of peaking for World Cup qualification and future ICC tournaments.
