Paul Nixon, head coach of the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, is confident his charges are poised to make a strong statement in the 2026 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL), insisting the squad possesses the talent, character, and culture needed to challenge the competition.

The regional cricket tournament is set to bowl off on August 7 and run until September 20 across six iconic Caribbean venues.

“We have a great squad, full of good people who are highly skilled,” said Nixon.
