BASSETERRE, St Kitts, CMC – St. Kitts and Nevis will host 10 matches in the third edition of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) which is due to begin in June, the country’s sports Minister Glenn Phillip announced on Sunday.
Addressing a rally in central Basseterre, Phillip told the crowd that an agreement to this effect has already been finalized with the CPL.
Warner Park hosted nine games in the second edition of the CPL last year.
“CPL will be here once again. We will be having 10 games! Today, we finalised all of the paperwork. CPL will be here this year again; 10 games, one more game than we had last year,” declared Phillip as election campaigning builds ahead of a general election.
“This is a hard working minister; this is a hard working government, stick and stay with Labour because we work hard on your behalf because we believe in fairness.”
Warner Park reportedly received high ratings for its pitch and outfield compared to the eight venues which hosted CPL matches last year.
This year’s CPL is scheduled to run from June 21st to July 26th.
