CRICKET WEST Indies (CWI), in collaboration with the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), has unveiled a new 60-ball cricket format set for launch later this summer, dubbed ‘6ixty’.

While speaking with Gleaner Sports, CWI President Ricky Skerrit called for patience ahead of the start of the tournament.

“It’s an exciting experiment that needs to be given a chance. It’s added on to the front of the CPL to sort of add some further excitement.
