CPL 2020: Sprinter Yohan Blake livid with Jamaica Tallawahs performance, sends a message to CEO

Two-time champions Jamaica Tallawahs are at the fifth position while St Kitts and Nevis Patriots are last on the CPL 2020 points table. Jamaica Tallawahs are one of the most popular franchises of the tournament, who have some big names within their ranks. However, the team has failed to live up to their name with just two wins in five games. In fact, it's not only the losses but the manner of their defeats that is a worrying sign. Jamaica Tallawahs failed to chase 148 in their last game against the Barbados Tridents as they lost by 36 runs.

Jamaica Tallawahs have a huge fan base and one of their ardent fans, Jamaican athlete Yohan Blake is absolutely livid with their performance. Yohan Blake took to Twitter and expressed his disappointment at the Jamaica Tallawahs' display in the CPL 2020. Yohan Blake posted a video on Twitter where he could be seen wearing cricket gear and doing some shadow practice.
