Reflecting on the upcoming edition of the tournament, CPL CEO Damien O’Donohoe said that though this year’s tournament will be entirely different, the standard of the event will be higher than ever.
“This year will be a different CPL, but the standard will be higher than ever. We have seen the appetite for live sport since it has returned after a prolonged absence, and the interest in CPL will be higher than ever with it being the first franchise T20 tournament to return,” the CPL official statement quoted O’Donohie as saying.
