Caribbean Premier League (CPL) Director of Operations, Michael Hall, has hailed the recently concluded edition of the tournament as a huge success, in light of the obstacles presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year’s staging, which had initially been in doubt due to the global coronavirus outbreak, was eventually staged in Trinidad and Tobago in a biosecure environment, without fans.  The Trinbago Knight Riders created history by being the first team to claim the title without losing a match.

“I think by any measure, this year, the Caribbean Premier League was a resounding success for the simple reason that we were able to do what we did, stage the tournament successfully, have some decent cricket played despite the fact that a number of cricketers would have been rusty,” Hall told the Mason and Guest radio program.

The pitches at the Brian Lara Academy and the Queen’s Park Oval during the CPL came under scunity because of the low totals in the tournament. Last Tuesday evening while speaking on the Mason and Guest cricket program, Michael Hall, the operations manager of the CPL, said the low scores were because the batsmen were out of practice. But according to Mayers, the pitches were not ideal for Twenty20 criicket.

I will not watch another CPL match until they have a challenge system. It's ironic that the CPL has the worst umpires, yet they are the only competition without the challenge system. CPL batsmen are at the mercy of these incompetent umpires. And spectators agonize over the atrocious decisions made by them. This state of affairs reduces interest and excitement in the game, and will only result in the killing of the competition. Get into the 21st century, CPL.
