WICB planning Carib Premier League

Tue, Nov 6, '12

Negotiations are on track for the staging of the inaugural Caribbean Premier League, a franchise tournament. Confirmation has come from the new CEO of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), Michael Muirhead, who says the regional T20 series in January could be replaced by the CPL.

"The negotiations are going on to bring on stream the Caribbean Premier League, and this would be a franchise tournament," Muirhead told at a press briefing yesterday at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Port-of-Spain.

"The West Indies Cricket Board is negotiating the rights, and after this it will be handed to a private promoter who has shown interest in staging the league."
