T&T Gov't still owes for 2020 CPL
THE Government has not paid the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) in full for hosting the entire 2020 edition of the Hero CPL in Trinidad, as Minister of Sport and Community Development Shamfa Cudjoe confirmed that payments are still being processed.
On Friday, in an interview with Newsday, Cudjoe said, From the get go we knew what the cost was going to be. However, invoices and so on have to be turned in in order for payment to go out. CPL has received some payment already and I know that there is another payment being processed right now at Ministry of Finance.
For the first time in the eight-year history of the tournament the entire CPL was held in one country. TT was selected to host the 2020 edition from August 18 to September 10 because of its handling of the covid19 pandemic. TT was also chosen because the country has two venues of international standard Brian Lara Cricket Academy and Queens Park Oval.

This year, discussions are being held to host the 2021 Hero CPL in Guyana and Barbados once the players and officials are allowed to travel through the Caribbean. Due to the pandemic people are not allowed to travel freely throughout the region.
