Following the footsteps of Indian Premier League (IPL), initiatives have been taken by the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) to conduct women’s matches for the first time in the tournament history. In collaboration with Cricket West Indies, the CPL and the Government of Trinidad and Tobago will be hosting two women's T10 matches ahead of the Men's semi-final and final. Both the games will be played at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy stadium on October 10 and 12. The game will feature the best women cricketers from across the Caribbean. “CPL is always looking for ways to innovate and give more chances for fans to enjoy world-class cricket,” ICC quoted COO of CPL, Pete Russell as saying. “These T10 matches with the best women's cricketers from across the Caribbean are just the latest example of our tournament pushing to be more inclusive and forward-thinking. We are delighted at providing this chance to players to take part in this event,” he added. The Cricket West Indies CEO Johnny Grave hopes that the T10 league will inspire young women to take up the sport. “These two exhibition games will be highly competitive and will hopefully inspire more young girls in the Caribbean to get involved in our sport,” Grave was quoted by ICC as saying. The final of CPL will take place on October 12 in Tarouba.
