Former Tallawahs hierarchy prefer to stay in Antigua & Barbuda
Wed, Aug 27, '25
Antigua and Barbuda Falcons Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jeff Miller says the franchise has received better support from that nation’s Government than when it operated as the Jamaica Tallawahs.
This is the Falcons’ first season in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) T20 cricket tournament since changing territories, and Miller, the former Tallawahs CEO, describes the new relationship with Antigua and Barbuda as fruitful.
“I’d say it’s been a bit more cooperative because they wanted to have a franchise here,” Miller said during an interview on Antigua Observer Radio’s Good Morning Jojo Sports Show recently. “When you’re wanted, it generally gets a lot easier.”
The Tallawahs complained for several years about sustainability because of poor crowd attendance and what it considered insufficient funding from the Jamaican Government, leading it to experiment with home games in Lauderhill, Florida, in the 2018 season.

Barbados win CWI Rising Stars U17 2-Day Championship
Mon, Aug 25, '25
All three rounds of the CWI Rising Stars Under-17 Two-Day Championship delivered moments of individual batting brilliance and bowling firepower as Barbados sealed yet another regional title with the capture of the 2-Day leg of the Championships in Trinidad.
The competition began with drawn matches across the board but runs flowed freely as three centuries were registered across the fixtures.
At Inshan Ali Park, Trinidad and Tobago posted 252-8 declared with Christiano Ramanan top scoring with 47. In reply, Barbados captain Gadson Bowens stole the show with a well crafted 111 and carried his team to 257 for nine declared. Trinidad and Tobago reached 89-3 in their second innings before the game’s end.
At the National Cricket Centre, Windward Islands opener Theo Edward stroked 139 off just 133 balls in his team’s 281-9 declared before Guyana made 264 all out. Windward Islands won first innings points, but the game ended without a decisive result.
