Saint Lucia Kings Team: Squad, Results, Stats & Schedule

Saint Lucia Kings is Saint Lucia's men's Caribbean Premier League franchise. It began in 2013, competed under the Zouks and Stars identities in earlier seasons, and adopted the Kings name in 2021 under the Punjab Kings-linked ownership group.

The franchise won its first CPL championship in 2024, defeating Guyana Amazon Warriors by six wickets in the final. It topped the 2025 league stage before losing Qualifier 1 and then Qualifier 2, finishing one match short of another final.

Roston Chase was appointed captain for CPL 2026 and Daren Sammy remains head coach. Saint Lucia defended 187 by four runs against Antigua, then lost its home opener after St Kitts chased 156 in 17.4 overs. Andries Gous leads the Kings with 86 runs; Maheesh Theekshana leads with four wickets.

No. Andries Gous made 82 from 51 balls and the Kings reached 187/8, then Antigua raced to 65 in the powerplay before the chase slowed enough to finish at 183/7.

Roston Chase and Maheesh Theekshana each returned 2/18 from four overs. Their combined eight overs cost only 36 while the other 12 overs cost 145, so the narrow finish hid a large control gap between bowling phases.

The four-run margin describes the endpoint. It does not show that spin economy and middle-over wickets were the main reasons the target survived.

No. Saint Lucia's first match at its named home in 2026 ended in a five-wicket defeat, with St Kitts reaching 156/5 in 17.4 overs.

A represented home venue gives location and support context, not a guaranteed performance advantage. The Kings lost eight wickets for 155 before conceding ten wides in the chase.

This is why the page separates venue identity from results instead of treating every Gros Islet fixture as evidence of home dominance.

No. Zouks, Stars and Kings are names used by the same Saint Lucia men's CPL franchise across different periods.

The 2020 runners-up season belongs to the Zouks era, while the 2021 runners-up finish and 2024 title sit under the Kings identity. Old scorecards should keep the name used at the time.

Continuity does not extend to Punjab Kings in the IPL. Shared ownership and branding do not merge two competitions or their statistics.

Gous followed his opening 82 with four, giving him 86 runs. Kamil Pooran moved to 68 after making 54, while Jewel Andrew reached 63 after his 58.

A current leaderboard adds completed innings; it does not replace the earlier score with the latest one. One large innings can therefore preserve a lead after a low score.

The values remain a two-match snapshot through 12 August, not a projection for the full ten-match league stage.

Theekshana improved his personal figures from 2/18 to 2/22, but the team result reversed because the attack around him conceded faster and the target fell from 188 to 156.

Matthew Forde conceded 47 in both matches: four overs in the win, then only 2.4 overs in the loss. Saint Lucia also delivered ten wides against St Kitts, compared with 11 wides conceded by Antigua in Match 1.

The expert lesson is that wicket totals alone miss target size, over allocation and extras. Theekshana's four wickets lead the team, yet the second defence was less effective overall.
