The Saint Lucia Kings, the defending champions of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), have unveiled their retained core and newly signed players for the 2025 season, signaling their intent to defend the title with a balanced mix of international experience and Caribbean flair. The squad was officially announced during the CPL draft held on 18 June, and fans are eagerly looking forward to seeing how the Kings are looking with a new campaign.

Saint Lucia created history last season by securing their maiden-ever CPL title. They beat the Amazon Warriors by 6 wickets with 11 balls remaining in the final on 7 October 2024, chasing a total of 139 successfully. That moment not only marked a breakthrough win for the Kings but also completed the unique record of every CPL franchise having lifted the trophy at least once.

They've maintained a strong core of players from the earlier seasons, with perennial performers such as Roston Chase and Alzarri Joseph, with new additions of an assortment of foreign stars that are set to bring in quality and depth in all departments. With the season for CPL 2025 set to begin on 14 August and end with the grand finale in Guyana on 21 September, the Kings are looking to reach the ultimate stage once again.

The franchise has also embraced the CPL's developmental initiative, drafting emerging West Indies talent in the final rounds. These young guns will be integral to team dynamics since each team will be required to have at least one player from the Breakout League in every fixture—a step towards strengthening Caribbean cricket's grass roots.
