The Guyana Amazon Warriors will start their pursuit of a first championship on August 19 when they compete in their opening game of the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) at St. Lucia. Three days after the tournament’s opening on August 16, when the St Lucia Kings host the Jamaica Tallawahs, they square off.
The 11th edition of the tournament will take place in Saint Lucia, St. Kitts & Nevis, Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, and Guyana from August 16 to September 24, according to the official fixtures that were made public on Monday.
Saint Lucia Kings, the host team, will take part in four of the games from August 16 to 20. From there, the competition travels to St. Kitts and Nevis, where six matches will be played at Warner Park between August 23 and August 27.
The next leg of the tournament will take place in Barbados with the CPL returning to the country for the first time since 2019.
With six matches scheduled for the iconic Kensington Oval, and four home games for the Barbados Royals, there will be lots of excitement about the tournament’s return.
The matches will take place in Barbados from 30 August to 3 September.
From 5 September to 10 September, the tournament will be in Trinidad & Tobago. There will be four home games for the Trinbago Knight Riders and six matches in total.
The final leg of the tournament will take place in Guyana with the matches running from 13 September to 24 September.
The knockout stages will be in Guyana again in 2023, with excitement already building after the successful running of the final last season.
Amazon Warriors have gone to five finals, the last being in 2019, but has not won the tournament thus far.
More so, June 5, will be the players’ draft.
Pete Russell, Republic Bank CPL’s CEO, said: “We are very pleased that the tournament will be staged in five countries in 2023.
As ever, the CPL is a chance for fans across the region and around the world to enjoy world-class cricket. And for the players from the Caribbean, it is an opportunity to showcase their skills and further their careers.”
