REGION WILD OVER CPL – WHILE PROFITS GO ABROAD

THE region has again gone berserk over the annual Caribbean Premier League (CPL) franchise cricket competition – in which the profits are taken abroad.

The ninth annual CPL T20 competition has just ended, with victory by St. Kitts-Nevis Patriots, a team owned by Winning Willows Ltd., which has American-Indian investors.

Caribbean cricket lovers have immense emotional attachment to the fast-paced competition of six teams, but the primary financial investors are foreign-based.
