The Caribbean Premier League will honour Sir Garfield Sobers with a minute’s applause.
The gesture will be observed once in every host territory, taking place ahead of the first match at each tournament location.
Sir Garfield passed away on July 17th at the age of 89.
CPL CEO Pete Russell said: “Sir Garfield Sobers did not just play cricket, he defined what was possible in the sport. He gave West Indies cricket its identity on the world stage and inspired generations of players across the region to believe in their own greatness. It is only fitting that every ground we play on this season pauses to honour him.”
CPL says it will continue to find further ways to honour Sir Garfield’s contribution to cricket throughout the season, including at the tournament final, which returns to his home ground of Kensington Oval, Barbados, in 2026.
