Caribbean Premier League

WEST Indies cricketing knights Sir Garfield Sobers and Sir Viv Richards have today confirmed their long-term support for the Limacol Caribbean Premier League, after being appointed to the Senior Management Team.

Sir Viv has been appointed as Performance Director and Sir Garfield assumes the role of CPL Brand Ambassador.
Sir Garfield and Sir Viv are widely regarded as two of the greatest cricketers of all-time, and their support speaks volumes for the success of the CPL, which began its second season with a thrilling opening weekend in Grenada which saw wins for Guyana Amazon Warriors, the Red Steel and the Jamaica Tallawahs, for whom Chris Gayle scored the first-ever CPL century.
