If the thoughts and talks between Cricket West Indies (CWI) and the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) are to materialise then the Caribbean could have another Twenty20 competition.
This, as CPL's CEO Pete Russell and CWI's vice-president Azim Bassarath indicate that discussions regarding another competition, are on course. That competition, which would complement the CPL, would be geared towards unearthing and developing fresh talent for the regional game.
Russell, while declaring CPL's commitment to play its part in the process, pointed out that it is not their role to unearth the next generation of players for the Caribbean.
“Yes, we’re going to be part of the solution, but I think that (unearthing players) is probably CWI’s remit, not ours,” Russell told Trinidad Express.
“We feel that’s an important part of any cricket system, even CPL. So, we want to support that in as big a way as possible. I’m hoping we can get to a place where we can put that tournament on,” he added.
