Bravo inducted as a player, Bishop in non-player category


The Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) today confirmed Dwayne Bravo and Ian Bishop as the two inaugural inductees into the newly established CPL Hall of Fame. Bravo joins as the first player inducted, with Bishop recognised in the non-player category for his contribution to the tournament's success since its launch in 2013.


The launch of the CPL Hall of Fame marks a historic moment for Caribbean cricket: an honour created to celebrate the players and individuals who have shaped the tournament since its unforgettable beginnings in 2013. Bravo and Bishop will make history as the inaugural inductees, taking centre stage at a landmark Hall of Fame Gala Dinner at The Hilton Hotel in Barbados on Tuesday 15 September 2026.


The evening will bring together the biggest names in West Indies cricket to celebrate a tournament that has become a source of enormous regional pride, making it one of the unmissable nights on the Caribbean cricket calendar. Proceeds from the evening will go to The Sir Clive Lloyd Healthcare Foundation, supporting its work to raise awareness and improve testing for prostate cancer across the Caribbean.


Bravo 


Dwayne Bravo is one of the icons who built T20 cricket and helped cement CPL as one of the greatest tournaments in the world. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players the format has ever seen, the Trinidadian all-rounder won more than 15 T20 titles across the globe over an 18-year career, including two ICC Men's T20 World Cups with West Indies in 2012 and 2016, multiple Indian Premier League titles with Chennai Super Kings, and further silverware in the Big Bash League and Pakistan Super League. He was the first bowler in the history of the format to reach 500 T20 wickets. In the CPL, he is the tournament's third-highest wicket-taker of all time with 129 wickets, and its most decorated player, winning five CPL titles as a player, with Trinbago Knight Riders in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2020, and with St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in 2021, before adding a sixth as head coach, guiding Trinbago Knight Riders to the title in 2025.

natty , natty and more natty,

My response was to Googley... I was under the impression he meant the player below.

 Aubrey Bishop (full name Aubrey Francis Randolph Bishop) played first-class cricket for British Guiana (now Guyana) with the initials UB.

Born: August 21, 1931, in Georgetown, British Guiana

Died: February 6, 2013

Role & Style: Slow left-arm orthodox bowler and left-handed batsman

Matches: Played 2 first-class matches for the regional team in the 1952/53 season.

He later became a prominent legal scholar, served as Chancellor of the Judiciary in Guyana, and worked with the West Indies Cricket Board.

Your family has cricket in its veins , I was not dissing Universe Boss.😂

I am not rocking de boat.😎
