Cricket West Indies (CWI) has introduced a revamped structure for the 2025 CG United Super50 Cup, the premier regional 50-over cricket tournament. Scheduled to take place in Trinidad from November 19 to November 29, the competition will feature six teams instead of the previous eight, with a total of 16 matches replacing the earlier 31-match format. The West Indies Academy and Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) teams have been excluded from this year’s edition. The tournament will adopt a round-robin format, with the top two teams advancing directly to the final. Participating teams include Trinidad & Tobago Red Force, Barbados Pride, Guyana Harpy Eagles, Jamaica Scorpions, Leeward Islands Hurricanes, and Windward Islands Volcanoes. The decision to streamline the event comes amid financial challenges faced by CWI, as highlighted during their recent Quarterly Media Briefing. Miles Bascombe, CWI’s Director of Cricket, emphasized that the changes aim to enhance competitiveness and quality of play. He noted that the reduced format would require teams to adopt more strategic preparations, while the exclusion of CCC and West Indies Academy players would intensify competition for spots within territorial franchises. The championship purse remains a significant incentive, with the winner set to receive US$100,000, the runner-up US$50,000, and the third and fourth-placed teams each earning US$25,000. The full fixture schedule is expected to be released shortly.
