ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced a restructured format for the 2025 CG United Super50 Cup, the marquee 50-over regional tournament set to take place in Trinidad from Wednesday 19 November to Saturday 29 November.
During CWI’s recently held Quarterly Media Briefing, it was announced that changes would be made to this year’s tournament, against the backdrop of a challenging financial period for the organisation.
As a result, the rivalry returns with a shift from the traditional 31-match, eight team layout to an abbreviated round-robin structure, with the top two teams qualifying directly for the Final.
Trinidad & Tobago Red Force (TTRF), Barbados Pride (BP), Guyana Harpy Eagles (GHE), Jamaica Scorpions (JS), Leeward Islands Hurricanes (LIH) and Windward Islands Volcanoes (WIV) will engage in intense competition over the eleven-day period, with the West Indies Academy and Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) outfits being excluded for this year.
Miles Bascombe, CWI’s Director of Cricket, said that despite the necessary changes, the opportunity has been created for enhanced competitiveness and quality of play throughout the tournament.
The rivalry will be highly charged with the six franchises aiming to bring home the championship purse of US$100,000, with US$50,000 being awarded to the runner-up, while the 3rd and 4th placed teams will each take home US$25,000.
The complete fixture schedule will be released in the coming days.
