Olivia Grange, Jamaica’s Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, said the tournament’s return would have an impact beyond cricket. “The Government of Jamaica is pleased to welcome the Caribbean Premier League back to our shores. This event goes beyond cricket – it supports economic growth, promotes our culture on a global stage, and inspires our young people through sport. We look forward to hosting players, fans, and partners in 2026 and delivering an unforgettable CPL experience rooted in Jamaican excellence,” she said.
