GROS ISLET—All systems are on go for the start of next month’sHero Caribbean Premier League (CPL), which is already being touted as the biggest and best edition.

Word of this has come from the CPL’s chief executive officer Damien O’Donohoe, as he gave the assurance that fixtures, venues and start times for the month-long tournament had been finalised.

“We are really excited about the 2018 edition of the tournament.

Manager of the Trinbago Knight Riders and former national team manager Colin Borde recently played a major role in the inaugural Global T20 Cricket League in Canada.

The former national team manager has been up front and centre in managing franchises and having a major hand in cricket operations for the tournament. Given his success in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) over the past few years and also in the Champions League where he managed an unknown T&T team to the final of the inaugural tournament in 2008 in India, Borde has been a much sought after administrator.

He was used in Canada to mentor the local managers. He also had to guide, train and evaluate them so that they are better prepared to handle international players, the media, security and their expectations.

Additionally, he was asked to work alongside cricket operations to ensure the smooth running of logistics related to the tournament.

DIXEE has been named the official biscuit of the 2018 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL). The announcement was made in a press release yesterday by Bermudez Biscuit Company.

“This continues the company’s drive to promote regional culture and the excitement and energy associated with it; traits which are all synonymous with the DIXEE brand,” the press release stated.

The company sponsored three teams last year — the Trinbago Knight Riders, the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, and the Guyana Amazon Warriors — and Bermudez said this renewed partnership is geared towards building the fan experience even more.
