The T20 franchise cricket merry-go-round moves on to the golden sands and azure seas of the West Indies and the 11th iteration of the annual Caribbean Premier League, with the five-and-a-half-week tournament set to get underway on Thursday, August 29.
You can watch the 2024 Caribbean Premier League on Willow and Sling TV in the US and TNT Sports in the UK. And don’t worry if you’re on holiday while it’s on, because you can watch CPL from anywhere with a VPN.
After the pain of losing five finals, the Guyana Amazon Warriors finally broke their CPL duck last year when they dismantled the Trinbago Knight Riders in the final. Now 45 years old, stalwart captain Imran Tahir is back to lead the side in a bid to defend the title. The tournament will again culminate at the Amazon Warriors’ home turf with the final taking place at the Providence Stadium in Guyana.
The Knight Riders aren’t accustomed to losing CPL finals and the tournament’s most prolific team (four titles so far) will be hoping to return to winning ways this year. Homegrown talent such as Dwayne Bravo, Jayden Seales, Nicholas Pooran, Sunil Narine and captain Kieron Pollard are some of the best players in the world at this format.
With the Jamaica Tallawahs dropping out of this year’s competition, Antigua will have their first CPL side in a decade. The Antigua & Barbuda Falcons will be coached by legendary Windies batter Shivnarine Chanderpaul, and will aim to progress from a group stage that also features Barbados Royals, St Kitts & Nevis Patriots and, the only ever-present team never to have won a CPL, Saint Lucia Kings.
