CPL 2016: Team of the Tournament

2. Johnson Charles (St Lucia Zouks)

Johnson Charles scored 441 runs to finish as the second highest run-getter

The 27-year-old is already St Lucia’s second most favourite cricketer after Darren Sammy and if he continues to perform as well as he did in the 2016 CPL he will give himself a good chance of bridging that huge gap that exists in terms of popularity now. After a decent start to the season, Charles peaked at the right time, making good use of the home conditions to score 341 runs at an average of 56.83 over the final seven games of the season.

Not only did he see himself surge to the second spot in the run-getters list for the fourth edition of the CPL with 441 runs, St Lucia rode on the good starts provided by Charles to make it to the CPL playoffs for the first time in their history.
