The inaugural Caribbean Premier League begins on the backdrop of a disappointing international season for West Indies, but the tournament promises to fill stadiums across the islands and pump in plenty of revenue to the West Indies Cricket Board, writes Tony Becca in the Jamaica Gleaner.
The sight of empty stadiums at matches in the West Indies is not encouraging, and the organisers will have to keep their fingers crossed, for the simple reasons that the West Indies is a region of small territories, that it is not a financially rich region, and that, to a set of people who are basically insular, the teams are not territorially based.
