WEST INDIES BREAKOUT LEAGUE TO LAUNCH IN 2025
St JOHN'S, Antigua - Cricket West Indies (CWI) and the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) are jointly launching the inaugural West Indies Breakout League, a new cricket tournament designed to spotlight emerging talent across the region.
The competition is scheduled to take place from 25 April to 10 May 2025, featuring six teams and 17 matches. All the games will take place at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad.
The six teams taking part will be Barbados Pelicans, Guyana Rainforest Rangers, Jamaica Titans, Leeward Islands Thunder, Trinidad & Tobago Legions and the Windward Islands Infernos.
Players eligible to participate must be under 30 years old or at the start of the 2025 event, with limited professional experience—fewer than 40 List A T20 matches and fewer than 10 International T20s.

Pick him to tour of india. He might be next cilve llyod or viv RichardsKevlon Anderson had another impressive game...77* and 101
His FC average prior to this game was 43.04
It is now 47.69...He is the best batsman under 25 in our region. I've said it before that he reminds me of Carl Hooper. Cool, calm, and collected...confidence supreme.
5 hundreds and 4 half-centuries in FC cricket so far.
+++
Captain Imlach also cracked a century in this game, 101*...his 6th to go with 7 half-centuries.
Not yet. Let him continue to buildPick him to tour of india. He might be next cilve llyod or viv Richards![]()
