Sport Minister Hails TKR's Victory, CPL 2020

The Minister of Sport and Community Development, Shamfa Cudjoe, has joined the Prime Minister in extending congratulations to Trinbago Knight Riders on their stellar victory over the St. Lucia Zouks in the Finals of this year's CPL T20 Cricket Tournament. The Minister expressed her personal delight that Trinidad served as the host for this global event, noting that Trinbago Knight Riders made history not once, but twice, by being the only team to have won the entire tournament without losing a match. She added that T&T also earned a badge of honour for being the first Caribbean country to hold a major cricket tournament, safely and securely, during the COVID-19 global pandemic. She believes the T&T model could serve as a template for other countries around the world to stage similar events, with the same results. The Sports Minister notes that although fans were not afforded the luxury of viewing the matches in person, the excitement was not lost as the talent and skill of some of the World's best cricketers was on full display on our screens.
