Was just gonna say.
Is it possible to have this competition around November?
Canadians and Americans will find excuses to get away from the cold.

No IPL
No Hundred
No PSL
No Big Bash

If I’m correct…

It is like this every year but in the past years they have managed to escape to the south before the peak of the season which is at the end of August and September. IPL takes up so much of the calendar its very difficult to squeeze in these other leagues and not conflict with international cricket.

Yes we go the back end of Erin. Lots of rain!!! This one looks ominous on where it formed and how close it is.

I don’t remember too many washouts but it is true about the season and to attract some snowbirds, the competition can use a shift.

The lucrative T10 Leagues that many West Indians play in take place in November /December. Realistically, while it is far from ideal, there is no other window for the CPL

Haha
That’s a welfare league, won’t last too much longer.
If the CPL cannot compete with the welfare league well something’s wrong.

The Game being abandoned had little to with the weather but because of shabby ground work by the groundsmen who failed to cover the pitch properly. It got wet. Shame for the fans who showed up. We are not talking about a wet out field but the pitch itself:



10:08 pm There are still damp areas on the pitch, particularly in the good and full-length regions. It appears that we are done for the day.

With the IPL taking the March to May in each calender year, international bilateral tours in summer, later from November to February resumption of bilaterals, other franchise leagues, and ICC tournaments, it is difficult to etch another time slot for the CPL.

We dunce bad.

there's a guyanese cricket writer named ronald austin who was interviewed in a book i read a few years ago. he said that there has always been a poverty of ideas in our cricket, a factor which contributed to our fall from the summit of the sport. the more i think about it, the more i agree

Rain can fall but our lickit season is scheduled during peak hurricane season.
