Caribbean Premier League (CPL) Chief Operations Officer, Pete Russell has sought to allay concerns over the decision to play this year’s tournament entirely at Warner Park, St Kitts and Nevis.
Warner Park is the only international venue in St Kitts and Nevis, and will host all 33 matches on five different pitches
Russell said the league had gone to great lengths to ensure the best possible pitch preparation so that the standard of cricket remained at a high level throughout the course of the tournament.
This year will be the first time that matches will be played at only one venue, as organisers endeavor to create a biosecure bubble in one territory amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Slotted beside Fistral Beach in Newquay, Cornwall, its 40ft (12m) waves attract some of the best surfers.

CPL in St Kitts

The 2021 Caribbean Premier League will be hosted entirely at Warner Park in St. Kitts, beginning on August 28.
The 33-match tournament will allow fans to attend at up to 50 per cent capacity of the 8,000-seat venue – as long as they show proof of vaccination to enter the stadium facility. However, CPL chief executive Pete Russell said that not all players would be required to be vaccinated in order to take part, in light of varying vaccine access to overseas players in particular.
“We’re aware that we need to get people vaccinated where possible,” Russell said during a press conference on Tuesday. “That’s not always going to be the case but that is a process that we’re undergoing right now whether it’s [those] working for the CPL or playing [who] will be vaccinated. But it’s not a requirement that they’ll be vaccinated because there will be quarantine options as well.
