However CPL later had said that Hawksbills will be brought back as they plan to have seven teams instead of six like they have in 2016 season. The Hawksbills were primarily removed from the competition in order to make scheduling easier, though their poor results and lack of a private owner also contributing to their removal.
St Kitts and Nevis squad for CPL 2016: Lendl Simmons, Faf du Plessis (c), Samuel Badree, Brad Hodge, Thisara Perera, Jonathan Carter, Krishmar Santokie, Evin Lewis, Tabraiz Shamsi, Kieran Powell, JJ Smuts, Devon Thomas, Shamarh Brooks, Tino Best, Jeremiah Louis, Nikhil Dutta, Carlos Brathwaite, Alzarri Joseph
