Minister of Sport and Community Development, Shamfa Cudjoe extends congratulations to Trinbago Knight Riders on their stellar victory.

In a statement Minister Cudjoe expressed her personal delight in serving as the host for this global event, noting, that Trinbago Knight Riders made history not once but twice by being the only team to have won the entire tournament without losing a match.

She says Trinidad and Tobago also earned a badge of honour for being the first Caribbean country to hold a major cricket tournament, safely and securely, during the COVID-19 global pandemic. 



The Sports Minister notes that although fans were not afforded the luxury of viewing the matches in person, the excitement was not lost as the talent and skill of some of the world’s best cricketers was on full display on their screens. 


According to Minister Cudjoe the formulation and execution of this CPL T20 tournament could serve as a template for the hosting of other major sporting events in the region and around the world.
