No clash between Caribbean Premier League and The Hundred in 2024

The tournament will begin two months after the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, which West Indies are co-hosting alongside the United States

The 2024 Caribbean Premier League is set to take place between August 28 and October 6.

Matches are planned to take place in Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Guyana, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago, with the final being held at the National Stadium in Providence, Guyana.

Perhaps importantly, it won't clash with this year's Hundred, as that is set to begin on July 23 and finish on August 18. Last year, the two competitions overlapped. The knockout stages of the T20 Blast will be impacted, however, in September.

The tournament will begin two months after the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, which West Indies are co-hosting alongside the United States.

CPL chief executive Pete Russell was delighted that the window will allow the best players from the Caribbean to showcase their talent.

Russell added: "The window also allows CPL franchises to sign the best available international players after successful discussions with other leagues to avoid the same clashes we had in 2023.

"As always,we would like to thank Cricket West Indies for their help and support in finding a window that works so well for all stakeholders."

"We are pleased to have once again worked closely with the CPL to strategically prioritise this window so that all West Indian cricketers can participate in the full CPL tournament once again," said Johnny Grave, Cricket West Indies chief executive.

"With the 2024 CPL taking place just two months after hosting the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in the region, it provides another fantastic opportunity for our fans to enjoy some world class exciting T20 cricket and for our regional governments to benefit from more cricket generated economic activity."

2023 saw Guyana Amazon Warriors claim their first title, defeating Trinbago Knight Riders in the final.
