Saint Lucian tapeball cricketers are marking a significant milestone as they participate in their first-ever T20 tournament in St Vincent and the Grenadines, running from October 23 to 29, 2025. This groundbreaking event, organized through a partnership between the Saint Lucia National Tapeball Cricket Association and the St Vincent Tapeball Committee, features two teams from Saint Lucia: a youth squad and a veteran team. Each team is set to compete in at least four matches during the tournament. The initiative aims to elevate tapeball cricket’s profile across the Windward Islands and provide players with a platform to demonstrate their abilities on a larger stage. Travel and logistical support for the tour have been generously sponsored by Stephenson King, the parliamentary representative for Castries North. Cyrus Cepal, President of the Saint Lucia Tapeball Association, expressed pride in the teams’ participation, emphasizing the association’s commitment to fostering the sport’s growth. ‘We are dedicated to developing tapeball throughout the Windwards and creating opportunities for both youth and veteran players to showcase their talents,’ Cepal stated. He also highlighted the broader mission of promoting sports as a means of health, community engagement, and lifelong activity. The tournament not only serves as a competitive platform but also as a cultural exchange, strengthening ties between the islands. The full squads for both the youth and veteran teams have been announced, featuring a mix of emerging talents and seasoned players, all eager to make their mark in this historic event.
