The rebranded Barbados Tridents are placing renewed emphasis on Caribbean identity and regional talent ahead of the 2026 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) season, with Chief Operating Officer (COO) John Mumby saying a strong local and regional core is central to the franchise’s long-term vision.

The regional cricket event will run from August 7 to September 20 across six iconic Caribbean venues.

“We want this team to feel authentically Caribbean. Supporters naturally connect more strongly when they see players who understand the culture, the conditions, and what cricket means in this region,” Mumby told The Gleaner.
