According to a statement from the CPL, all those who travelled into Trinidad for the tournament have now returned four negative tests and local residents, who have entered the Hero CPL bubble have tested negative for the second time.

“We are very pleased that the plans we put in place in order to make this tournament happen under the most testing of circumstances have meant that we have cricket taking place on the field,” said Hero CPL’s Tournament Operations Director Michael Hall.

“As everyone around the world knows, the key now is remaining vigilant and making sure the protocols that we put in place are followed. We are delighted to have got the cricket underway.”

The tournament organisers will carry out further tests throughout the event while also maintaining stringent social distancing protocols to ensure that both they and the wider public in Trinidad & Tobago remain safe and healthy.
