Women’s CPL to be staged in T&T.

Trinidad and To­ba­go will play host to the third edi­tion of the Women’s Caribbean Pre­mier League when the tour­na­ment bowls off in Au­gust.

The in­au­gur­al tour­na­ment in 2022 was staged in St Kitts and Nevis while last year’s show­piece was played in Bar­ba­dos and Trinidad and To­ba­go.

“We would like to thank Trinidad and To­ba­go for agree­ing to host this tour­na­ment and we are ex­cit­ed to be hav­ing the Massy WC­PL tak­ing place be­fore we get the men’s tour­na­ment un­der­way,” said CPL chief ex­ec­u­tive, Pe­te Rus­sell.

“The com­mit­ment that the Trinidad & To­ba­go gov­ern­ment has shown to women’s sport has been phe­nom­e­nal and we are look­ing for­ward to an­oth­er su­perb ex­hi­bi­tion of world class crick­et over these sev­en match­es from 21 to 29 Au­gust.”

The tour­na­ment will see cham­pi­ons Bar­ba­dos Roy­als, Guyana Ama­zon War­riors and Trin­ba­go Knight Rid­ers clash in six group games, with the top two teams fea­tur­ing in the fi­nal.

Re­gion­al and in­ter­na­tion­al stars will com­prise the three teams, and Trinidad and To­ba­go Sports Min­is­ter, Sham­fa Cud­joe-Lewis, said the coun­try was pleased to be show­cas­ing the tour­na­ment’s “ex­tra­or­di­nary tal­ent.”

“We are de­light­ed to host once again the Massy Women’s Caribbean Pre­mier League, where the ex­tra­or­di­nary tal­ent of women in sport from across the re­gion will be show­cased,” she said.

“This tour­na­ment high­lights the in­cred­i­ble skills of our fe­male crick­eters and un­der­scores Trinidad and To­ba­go’s un­wa­ver­ing com­mit­ment to pro­mot­ing gen­der equal­i­ty and fos­ter­ing in­clu­siv­i­ty in sport.

“The Min­istry of Sport and Com­mu­ni­ty De­vel­op­ment takes pride in spear­head­ing the ad­vance­ment of women’s crick­et and sport tourism in Trinidad & To­ba­go and we look for­ward to wel­com­ing play­ers and fans alike to our shores for an elec­tri­fy­ing dis­play of crick­et­ing ex­cel­lence.”

The men’s tour­na­ment, mean­while, will be played from Au­gust 29 to Oc­to­ber 6.
