Jamaica Kingsmen head coach Grant Bradburn has urged calm and a focus on the “process” as his side prepares for today’s Caribbean Premier League (CPL) clash against the Barbados Tridents following a disappointing, yet encouraging, opening performance.

Speaking to the media ahead of the crucial encounter, the New Zealander, who has built a distinguished coaching career with Scotland, Pakistan and Glamorgan since 2014, refused to hit the panic button after watching his franchise fall short in its tournament opener in St Vincent.

Bradburn acknowledged that the team’s preparation for the tournament was less than ideal, with players arriving at different stages of the build-up.
