TT to host 2018 CPL opening match, final

TRINIDAD AND Tobago will be the host nation for the opening match, as well as the final, of the 2018 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL).

The CPL, in a media release on its website yesterday, unveiled the 2018 fixture list with the Trinbago Knight Riders, the 2017 champions, hosting the St Lucia Stars on August 8.

In the 2017 edition, both the Queen’s Park Oval in St Clair and the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba were used as TT venues, with the Oval hosting the group matches and the Tarouba facility hosting the latter matches, and final.

But no official venue has been confirmed for the three home matches for the Dwayne Bravo-captained Trinbago Knight Riders, in the preliminary round.

The Trinbago Knight Riders will be entertaining the Jamaica Tallawahs on August 10 and the St Kitts/Nevis Patriots a day later.

Three games will be contested at the Central Broward Regional Park, Lauderhill, Florida. Jamaica Tallawahs will be facing Guyana Amazon Warriors (August 1cool, Trinbago Knight Riders (August 19) and Barbados Tridents (August 22).
