The three-team WCPL – Guyana Amazon Warriors being the third team – will be played across four afternoons in St Kitts and Nevis during double-header days before the men’s fixtures in the evening and will end in a final on September 4. Unlike last year when all the matches were hosted at a single venue, the men’s edition this season will be played in the four island countries of the region – Trinidad & Tobago, St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis and Guyana – with the impact of Covid-19 on the wane. St Kitts and Nevis will host seven men’s games before the teams will move to St Lucia for eight T20s. Thereafter, the competition shifts to Trinidad for eight more fixtures before ending in Guyana with seven league-stage games and the three playoffs, followed by the final on September 30.
The 2022 edition will also see fans return to the stadium, unlike the previous edition which was played behind closed doors.
“It is very exciting to be able to confirm the fixtures for this season with this announcement being all the more special with the WCPL taking place for the first time in 2022,” CPL CEO Pete Russell said. “We can’t wait to be back travelling around the Caribbean and we are looking forward to welcoming our wonderful fans back into the stadiums across the region.”
