Not a bad contingent based north of the border. I wonder what kind of money they would make.
The division schedule seems to wrap up in mid-September when the National team members would need to leave for Americas T20 qualifying. MiLC would be good preparation.

Matthew Nandu is back with Guyana in the Caribbean Premier League for 2023. Though if Guyana is again in the hunt for the title, he probably won't see the field. Playing in a lesser standard of franchise tournament (GT20) might afford Nandu more opportunities to play and gain experience.

Kirton not in the Windies Super50. I wondered if the Americas tournament was a bit of an audition. Matthew Nandu is playing for West Indies Academy. Super interesting that an Academy team will play 4-day games against Ireland Academy in November.

Their website is ‘cricuspl.com’ which is very close to ‘circus’.

They try to rev up the hype machine and everything but it’s really hard to find highlights or stats and standings.

Organizers are also loosing the shirts off their backs. Been looking
at the videos and for EVERY game the stands are EMPTY! And I
mean EMPTY! Couldn't see more than a dozen spectators.

No no. They’ll be making money off gambling. Where are you seeing videos? It’s worth saying these games are in Lauderhill. They’re not really growing the fan base are they? And the teams, I think, have no connection to the cities they are supposed to be representing.
