Limacol Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2014, which is just nine days away, will take place from July 11 to August 16 and online ticket sales for this year’s CPL go on sale at 08:00hrs today via CPLT20.com and Kyazoonga.com/CPLT20. Tickets will also be available at Stadium box offices and Courts and Digicel outlets in all eight host countries from 09:00hrs on Thursday.
Grenada will serve as the opening venue on July 11 when the Guyana Amazon Warriors take on the Antigua Hawksbills at the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada.
The ‘Warriors’ then face the Red Steel of Trinidad from 19:30hrs in their opening clash on home soil. The South American based team then face-off with the St Lucia Zouks on July 19 from 16:00hrs before playing their final match at Providence on July 20 when they oppose the Jamaica Tallawahs.
Guyanese can purchase tickets from the Guyana National Stadium at Providence and Digicel and Courts outlets in Guyana from Thursday morning. The Guyana Amazon Warriors play three games at Providence and tickets cost for $5,000 for the Party (Orange) stand, $4,000 for the Red & Green Stands and $2,000 for the grass mound.
The final game for the home team in Guyana should prove to be an epic battle since the Jamaicans cruised to a seven-wicket victory against the Amazon Warriors, in the inaugural final last year at the Queens Park Oval in Trinidad.
Matches this year will be played in Grenada, Antigua, Guyana, Barbados, Trinidad, Jamaica, St Lucia and St Kitts.
The tournament is set to be bigger than last year, featuring global cricketing superstars, Chris Gayle, Kevin Pietersen, Dwayne Bravo, Ross Taylor, Saeed Ajmal, Sunil Narine and Kieron Pollard.
Orin Bailey has been appointed Assistant Coach to Head Coach Roger Harper with former West Indies pacer Curtley Ambrose performing mentorship duties for the ‘Warriors’, who will have their first practice session today at Providence with the local players in the squad.
The ‘Warriors’ side will include International stars Cory Anderson, Mohamed Hafeez, Martin Guptil, Lendl Simmons, Sunil Narine and West Indies Test Captain Denish Ramdin.
Also in the line-up for last year’s runners-up are Chris Barnwell, Krishmar Santokie, Leon Johnson, Veerasammy Permaul, Navin Stewart, Steven Jacobs, Ronsford Beaton, Robin Bacchus and Trevon Griffith.
A concert from Hip Hop megastar Rick Ross will be held in St Kitts, while the Beefy’s Bash’ an all-star charity game for former England All-Rounder Sir Ian Botham will also take place during finals week in St. Kitts.
Damien O’Donohoe, CEO Limacol Caribbean Premier League, said: “We’re looking forward to seeing packed stadiums once again across the Caribbean. The great value of tickets for every match, and the world class stars on show, will ensure we’ll see bigger and more exciting crowds than ever before, guaranteeing we live up to our reputation as the Biggest Party in Sport.”
