Justin Ontong will lead the Nashua Cape Cobras for the 2008/09 season.

Shukri Conrad stays on as head coach of the side, with Salieg Nackerdien as assistant coach, whilst new signing, Ontong, will captain the side, succeeding Justin Kemp, who is no longer available because of his links with the ICL in India.

With a number of individuals who have performed well over the past season, as well as new up and coming talent, this season is going to be one of promise and enjoyment?.
