PM Mottley highlights sports investment following CPL final

Prime Minister Mia Mottley says the success of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) demonstrates cricket’s power to unite the region, while underscoring the importance of continued investment in sporting infrastructure.

The prime minister was speaking to reporters following the CPL final at Kensington Oval, the Mecca of Caribbean cricket, where the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons captured their maiden CPL title with a commanding eight-wicket win over the Jamaica Kingsmen.

“When we decided to bring CPL back here with the finals this time, we expected that we would have a good turnout, but we didn’t expect that it would be so overwhelming. I want to thank Bajans, I want to thank all who have traveled here.
