The St Lucia Kings will be without Noor Ahmad for the remainder of CPL 2026.
The Afghanistan Cricket Board has revoked the player’s NOC, leaving the franchise short of his services for the tournament.
Replacement Confirmed for St Lucia Kings
To fill the gap, the St Lucia Kings have secured the services of Tim Seifert for the rest of CPL 2026.
Seifert arrives after completing his commitments elsewhere and is now available for the Caribbean Premier League side.
Seifert’s Recent Achievement
The wicketkeeper-batter played a key role in Manchester Super Giants’ successful campaign in the men’s Hundred.
That contribution helped Manchester Super Giants secure the title in the competition.
The move brings Seifert directly into the St Lucia Kings setup for the ongoing CPL 2026 season.
- Noor Ahmad ruled out after ACB revokes NOC
- Tim Seifert signed for remainder of CPL 2026
- Seifert featured prominently in Manchester Super Giants’ Hundred title win
Franchise officials confirmed the change in personnel to maintain squad numbers for upcoming fixtures.
The development affects the St Lucia Kings’ bowling options in particular for the balance of the tournament.
Seifert’s arrival provides the team with an additional option behind the stumps and in the middle order.
Fans following CPL 2026 will see the New Zealand international feature in the remaining matches for the franchise.
