In a bid to counter the possible threat which the COVID-19 pandemic can cause, 33 matches of CPL 2020 will be played at only a couple of venues namely Brian Lara Cricket Stadium and Queen’s Park Oval in Tarouba and Port of Spain respectively.

All the players had reached Trinidad & Tobago quite a few days ago and resumed training after completing their mandatory quarantine inside their hotel rooms. Given the lack of top-level cricket these days, CPL 2020 has a golden opportunity to become the most successful Caribbean Premier League in terms of television viewership.
