Caribbean Premier League

After much speculation as to where the finals of the 2016 Hero Caribbean Premier League T20 tournament will take place, news coming to hand is that it will go South to Guyana this time around.

Guardian Media was reliably informed that the government of Guyana has outdone the governments of T&T and Barbados in a three-way bid to host the finals on August 7. Guyana will also host both semi-finals which will take place at Providence Stadium.

According to a source close to the Guyana government, the deal has been struck and it will be made public in a few days time. The source did not give particulars about the agreement between the parties, but the CPL organizers were asking for US$4.5M (G$932.4million) for the award of the final-four.
