CPL 2026 to feature new Jamaica-based franchise

The Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2026 is set to introduce a new franchise based in Jamaica, marking the return of a team from the region after its absence in the last two seasons. This development is significant as Jamaica has a rich cricketing heritage and a passionate fan base that has long supported the sport. The previous editions of the CPL did not feature any Jamaican representation, which left a notable gap in the tournament. The announcement has been met with excitement among cricket enthusiasts, who are eager to see local talent take the field once again. The inclusion of a Jamaica-based franchise aims to strengthen the league's appeal and promote cricket in the Caribbean, as CPL continues to grow as a platform for showcasing talent from the region. Further details regarding the franchise's management and player roster are expected to be revealed in the coming months, as the league gears up for its next season, emphasizing its commitment to inclusivity and representation in Caribbean cricket.
