Cumbrian Paul Nixon is the toast of Jamaica for a second time after leading Jamaica Tallawahs to the Caribbean Premier League crown.

The former England wicketkeeper, from Langwathby, celebrated long into the night after his star-studded team saw off Guyana Amazon Warriors in the final.

It means Nixon, who also oversaw victory for Jamaica in 2014, has lifted the trophy in the two times he has coached in the competition.

The 45-year-old will now return to England hoping to further his domestic coaching career having added another trophy to his illustrious CV.

The ex-Leicestershire legend shared his joy on Twitter after the Tallawahs clinched a comfortable nine-wicket victory in the final in St Kitts on Sunday night.

"What a team," he tweeted. "Mission accomplished."

Nixon had a host of top players at his disposal as Jamaica made short work of their opponents in the final.

West Indies batting icon Chris Gayle made 54 off 27 balls to make their run-chase a formality.

Sri Lanka legend Kumar Sangakkara then struck the winning runs to see Jamaica to 95/1, ensuring victory with 7.1 overs to spare.

Imad Wasim, Shakib Al Hasan and Andre Russell had earlier impressed with the ball to restrict Guyana to 93 all out after 16.1 overs.

"We tried a few things - and it worked," said Nixon after the emphatic victory.

Gayle, meanwhile, paid tribute to Nixon and the rest of the Tallawahs staff, as well as South African paceman Dale Steyn, who played for Jamaica earlier in the tournament.

"It's very special to win it for the second time," said the explosive opener.

"I have to thank the management for their support."
