The 2021 edition of the Caribbean Premier League will get underway from 28th August. The whole competition will be staged at Warner Park in St Kitts & Nevis. The 2020 edition was played in a secure bio-bubble in Trinidad and Tobago.
“We are delighted to be able to announce that we will be having the Hero CPL in St Kitts & Nevis in 2021 and we would like to thank those involved in welcoming the tournament to this wonderful country,” CPL COO Pete Russell said.
As per an official statement from the CPL, St Kitts & Nevis has so far no COVID-19 transmissions. “As was demonstrated during the 2020 tournament the CPL is a massive boost for the host country with US$51.5million delivered in sponsorship value for Trinidad & Tobago. We are looking forward to giving St Kitts & Nevis the exposure they deserve. We are greatly confident that the hosting of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) in St. Kitts & Nevis in 2021 will stimulate much-needed economic activity, especially for small and medium-sized local businesses,” Jonel Powell, St Kitts & Nevis Minister for Education, Youth, Sports, and Culture, said.
