St Kitts and Nevis confirmed as a host nation for this year’s CPL
St Kitts & Nevis, which successfully hosted the 2021 Hero Caribbean Premier League, has been confirmed as a host nation for seven matches this year.
The Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) will return to St Kitts & Nevis again in 2022 after the Federation successfully hosted the whole tournament in 2021.
Hero CPL has confirmed that St Kitts & Nevis will be hosting matches during the 2022 tournament which will run from 30th August to 30th September.
St Kitts & Nevis are set to host a total of seven matches between 30th August and 4th September.
Four of these matches feature the host side who will benefit from a home crowd as they defend their CPL title.
Pete Russell, Hero CPL’s CEO, said: “The 2021 Hero CPL was an enormous success, and we are hugely grateful to the government and people of St Kitts & Nevis who were fabulous hosts. Warner Park is a fantastic venue, and we are very excited to be back there as the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots get their championship defence underway in front of a home crowd.”
The Hon. Jonel Powell, Minister of Sport for St Kitts & Nevis, said: "The hosting of the CPL in its entirety in 2021 in St Kitts & Nevis proved a success in every way for our people. Tremendous direct economic gains were made in our economy and to individuals at a difficult time due to the pandemic. Our people were able to receive some much-needed ‘Covid relief’ socially through the amazing matches, and our very own St Kitts & Nevis Patriots won its first CPL title in the most dramatic style."
“This is why we are very pleased to partner with CPL once again as a host venue for their 2022 edition, and to have the opportunity to see our Patriots defend their title right here at historic Warner Park.”
The 2022 season will take place in four countries, St Kitts & Nevis, Saint Lucia, Trinidad & Tobago and Guyana with the final set to take place at Providence on 30 September.
