Having the best Caribbean cricketers and the world's best overseas players is the foundation of our tournament and this period gives us that’, said Pete Russell. Russel is the current COO of the CPL. Meanwhile, CPL 2019 starts on September 4. Six teams will play in this year’s tournament and it will continue until October 12.
CWI CEO’s Johnny Grave also stated that the league is important for West Indies’ preparation for the T20 World Cup next year.
