VOR's Revo gats more Trini's than TKR...

ABF knows the winning combination....😂

Antigua and Barbuda Falcons have won the toss and have opted to field

Fabian Allen | Falcons captain: We're going to bowl first. It's a new wicket, it's a new game, so we're just going to look to chase. [On captaining Falcons] Yeah, it's always a dream. Back to schoolboy cricket, I used to captain, so I know that feeling. So it's a blessing to actually captain a big stage now, so I'm very happy. [On the team combination] Alzarri Joseph is back at home, we're looking out for him. And Jayden Seales doing well over the past year, so yeah.. [What's key to going one step further?] I think we have had a few conversations that we want to win this year, so hopefully we can contribute to that.

Rovman Powell | Kingsmen captain: It's nice to be back home, it's nice to see CPL cricket back in Jamaica. The fans and also players are really looking forward to that. You know, but this provides another opportunity, another opportunity for us to sell the brand Jamaica, not just to the Caribbean but to the world. [On Andre Russell] I think it's just a relationship that has blossomed over the years. You know, we have seen what Andre has done on the cricket field, and he's an amazing person. You know, he's someone who we look forward to pushing this dressing room and things that he has done in the past. So it's a relationship that has been good, long may it continue. [Which new players could surprise us?] I think when you look at the complement of players, we have a lot of young players. We have gone for a core of young Jamaicans, mixed with overseas talents. You know, you have young Vitel Lawes, who has just played some 50-over games for West Indies. And you know, myself and Andre in the middle should share a lot of the batting load.

A& b Falcons pace bowling looks good not sure about their spin options and their batting. Lewis is over the hill, Cornwall is a one hit/ season wonder,, Gore , Robinson and Hamilton will have to do some work in the middle.

Dupe

Jayden Seales to Shayan Jahangir, leg byes, first ball of the CPL 2026, and it down the leg from Jayden Seales.

the amount of revenue lost by not hosting a home game have to be a tidy sum . Hats off to Minister Shallow for pulling this off.
