The 2024 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League will take place from August 28th to October 6th, the CPL announced on Monday. The final will once again take place in Guyana, with the National Stadium at Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD) hosting the conclusion of the Men’s event for the third consecutive year.
The tournament plans to have matches in Barbados, Guyana, St Kitts & Nevis, Saint Lucia, Trinidad & Tobago; and Antigua and Barbuda, which will reportedly be home to a new franchise. Once again, the window for the CPL will not clash with West Indies fixtures, so the best Caribbean talent would be on show at the Biggest Party in Sport.
Pete Russell, CEO of Republic Bank CPL, has said: “We are very pleased that this window allows the CPL to give the best players from the Caribbean the opportunity to showcase their talents. The window also allows CPL franchises to sign the best available international players after successful discussions with other leagues, to avoid the same clashes we had in 2023. As always, we would like to thank Cricket West Indies for their help and support in finding a window that works so well for all stakeholders.”
Johnny Grave, Cricket West Indies CEO, said: “We are pleased to have once again worked closely with the CPL to strategically prioritize this window, so that all West Indian cricketers can participate in the full CPL tournament once again. With the 2024 CPL taking place just two months after hosting the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in the region, it provides another fantastic opportunity for our fans to enjoy some world class exciting T20 cricket, and for our regional governments to benefit from more cricket-generated economic activity.”
