The 13th edition of the men's Caribbean Premier League (CPL) will be held from August 14 to September 21 this year, Cricket West Indies (CWI) and the CPL announced on Friday. "Once again there will be no clash with West Indies international matches," a CPL statement said. "We are satisfied to have by and by worked with Cricket West Indies to find a window that permits the absolute best players from across the locale to participate in the CPL," Pete Russell, the CPL CEO, said. "The 2024 season was our best to date and we are anticipating expanding on that outcome in 2025." As has been the situation starting around 2022, there will be 30 association stage matches highlighting the six groups, trailed by four end of the season games - the eliminator, two qualifiers, and the last. St Lucia Lords are the reigning champs, and the competition will include losing 2024 finalists Guyana Amazon Heroes, Barbados Royals, Trinbago Knight Riders, St Kitts and Nevis Loyalists and Antigua and Barbuda Hawks, who supplanted Jamaica Tallawahs before the 2024 release. Lynford Inverary, acting CEO and head working official of CWI, said, "While CWI keeps on playing a main job in molding our general cricket schedule, the CPL stays a critical piece of our cricketing environment, assuming a significant part in the turn of events and advancement of the game all through the Caribbean." Particulars with regards to scenes, installations, and so forth will be declared later. There will be a draft as well as a series of pre-draft signings for the groups to get their crews set up.
