The 2019 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) fixtures have been released with each of the six territories listed for matches except Guyana.
CPL is expected to begin with the opening match on September 4 in Trinidad and Tobago where defending champions, Trinbago Knight Riders battle St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots and will close off with the final on October 12 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Trinidad and Tobago. While nothing has been said officially as to why it is becoming a trend for Guyana not to be listed as hosts, Hero CPL’s COO, Pete Russell said “It is very pleasing to get the fixture list agreed for this year. It is always a challenge and we would like to thank everyone involved in helping to pull this all together.”
Seven matches were listed with “TBC” (to be confirmed) including two playoff contests which Guyana had hosted last year.
Should these dates be reserved for Guyana, it will see the home team, Guyana Amazon Warriors go up against St. Lucia Stars, Patriots and Barbados on September 5,7 and 8 respectively before returning on October 3 and 4 to play Jamaica Tallawahs and Knight Riders in that order.
The two playoffs are set for October 6 and the lone semi-final is set for October 8 in Trinidad.
Guyana, home of the Amazon Warriors have featured some of the largest crowds in the past editions of the tournament and Director of Sport, Christopher Jones has already anticipated an even larger turn out.
