The 2010 season paid dividends, as Atlantiswith a 9-3 record landed among the top four teams, but eventually ot knoced out in the semi-final round.
The 2011 season is off to a similar start with Atlantis at 4-0 after four matches for the season. The club continues to invest heavily in a youthful squad, naming Prashant Nair its youngest ever skipper at age 18, along with hard-hitting middle order batsman Nicholas Standford as the vice-captain.
