History

The Caribbean Premier League has a rich Jamaican thread running back to its very first season: the island's original franchise, the Tallawahs, won the inaugural 2013 title and lifted the trophy again in 2016. After that team drifted away — playing later home games in the United States before being sold back to the league in 2023 — top-flight franchise cricket vanished from the island.

For 2026 it returns in the shape of a brand-new team, the Jamaica Kingsmen, an expansion franchise that brings CPL cricket back to Jamaica for the first time since 2019. Their home is Sabina Park in Kingston, one of the great cathedrals of West Indian cricket, a Test venue since 1930 that has witnessed some of the game's most storied moments.

A Twenty20 night here, reggae and dancehall pumping between the overs before a knowledgeable, joyous Kingston crowd, is one of Caribbean sport's unmistakable experiences — and 2026 marks a genuinely fresh chapter for the ground and the island.
