The 2020 Caribbean Premier League (CPLT20) is the eighth season of the Caribbean Premier League, the domestic Twenty20 cricket league currently being played in the West Indies. Matches were scheduled to be played in six countries – Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Guyana, Barbados, Jamaica and Saint Lucia.[1] However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a request was made in June 2020 to play all of the matches in Trinidad.[2]
The tournament started on 18 August and is scheduled to end on 10 September 2020.[3][4] On 10 July 2020, the local government gave its approval for the tournament to go ahead, with all the matches taking place at two venues behind closed doors.[5] The full schedule for the tournament was confirmed on 27 July 2020.[6] On 6 August 2020, an official press release stated that all players, officials and administrators involved in the league had tested negative on arrival ahead of a two weeks quarantine period.
