TKR play Amazon Warriors in CPL opener

THREE-TIME champions Trinbago Knight Riders will play the opening match of the 2020 Hero Caribbean Premier League against Guyana Amazon Warriors at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, at 10 am, on August 18.

Doubleheaders will be contested on match days at 10 am and 5.30 pm. Two venues have been selected with 23 matches at Brian Lara Cricket Academy and ten fixtures at Queen's Park Oval in St Clair.

The Tarouba venue will host matches from August 18 to 24, before teams battle at the Oval from August 25 to 30. The tournament returns to the Brian Lara Academy for the end of the preliminary phase and semi-finals and final, from September 1 to 10. This is the first time the entire tournament will be played in one country. Trinidad was chosen because of Government's ability to control the spread of covid19 and also because the Queen's Park Oval and Brian Lara Cricket Academy are two venues of international standard.
