The Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2021 is all set to go underway on August 28 with the final scheduled for September 19. The tournament will take place in St Kitts andNevis with all 33 matches being played at Warner Park. This follows on from the successful staging of CPL in Trinidad and Tobago in 2020.
In 2020 the tournament had a combined viewership of 523 million, an increase of 67 per cent in 2019.
Pete Russell, CPL’s COO, said: “It is really exciting to have the tournament window for 2021 confirmed and I would like to thank the St Kitts andNevis government for agreeing to host this year’s event. We would also like to extend our thanks to Cricket West Indies for helping us create this window in a busy summer of cricket for them. We are looking forward to once again successfully staging the Hero CPL in 2021.”
