Caribbean Premier League

The Caribbean Premier League (CPL) on Friday announced a new initiative for the 2015 edition, geared towards providing an opportunity for the best U-19 cricketers from the Caribbean and developing players from the International Cricket Council (ICC) Associate Members in the Americas region, to make the final squad of one of the six franchises taking part in the tournament.

 One player from the ICC Associate Members in the Americas region will be assigned to each of the franchises and invited to the training camps held ahead of the tournament.

The young cricketers will join four Under-19 West Indies players, who will also be assigned to each of the franchises and attend the training camps.
