The CG United Super50 Cup has been reduced to 16 matches for the 2025 season, down from its usual 31-match fixture list. Cricket West Indies has also confirmed that the upcoming edition of the region’s premier 50-over competition will not feature the West Indies Academy or Combined Campuses and Colleges.
The changes have been brought on by what CWI terms as a “challenging financial period for the organization.” The tournament is now set to be contested over eleven days, entirely in Trinidad & Tobago from November 19 to 29, with plans for the playoffs to be hosted in Guyana scrapped. The new format will see teams compete in a round-robin structure, with the top two teams qualifying directly for the final.
Director of Cricket Miles Bascombe says the shake-up gives CWI flexibility to allocate funds elsewhere. “This reformed format allows us to maintain a high standard of competition while also refocusing our resources on building a stronger, more sustainable development pathway,” he said.
