Nation News "BARBADOS' hottest cricket commodity is set to become the island's latest millionaire.
Kemar Roach, the mean fast bowling machine who has grabbed the international spotlight over the past six months, was yesterday purchased for US$720 000 (BDS$1.44 million) by Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Deccan Chargers for the third edition of the tournament starting on March 12.
The 21-year-old Roach was one of two West Indians among ten overseas players purchased at a pre-tournament auction in Mumbai and was among the biggest buys, coming right after big-hitting Trinidadian batsman Kieron Pollard and New Zealand fast bowler Shane Bond, who were both bought for US$750 000, the maximum amount allowed for a franchise."
