The 2018 Caribbean Premier League (CPLT20) or for sponsorship reasons, Hero CPL 2018 was the sixth season of the Caribbean Premier League, the domestic Twenty20 cricket league in the West Indies. Matches were played in seven countries – Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Guyana, Barbados, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, with three of the matches were played at Lauderhill, Florida, United States.[1] The tournament started on 8 August 2018.[2]
In July 2018, two changes to the playing conditions were announced for the tournament.[3] The first was a penalty to a team's net run rate for failing to bowl their overs in the given time.[3] The second change was the introduction of a coin toss, to determine who will bat first if a Super Over is needed to decide the result of the match.[3] The Decision Review System (DRS) was used in the last two matches of the tournament.[4]
Trinbago Knight Riders beat Guyana Amazon Warriors by eight wickets in the final to win their third CPL title.[5]
Squads
[edit]The following players were selected for the tournament:[6]
Shakib Al Hasan decided not to play in this edition, and he was replaced by Steve Smith[7]
