However, this years CPL, which features six teams representing different Caribbean nations Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, St. Lucia and St. Kitts and Nevis - will be different from previous years, because of the continued threat posed by the virus.
To prevent the risk of transmission and to minimise unnecessary travel across the region, all matches will be played in Trinidad and Tobago, and all teams of match officials will stay in the same hotel.
In addition, there will be a series of strict health protocols that will need to be observed by all teams and players taking part in the tournament.
Everybody travelling from overseas will need to be tested for Covid-19 before setting-off, and again on arrival in Tobago, and anybody testing positive for it will need to self-isolate for a 14-day period, or until they are then tested negative.
Furthermore, team members and match officials will be segregated into households, within which people will be expected to observe social distancing norms. However, smaller clusters within these households can be formed within which these rules can be relaxed.
However, in the event that one member of a cluster shows signs of the disease, all members of that cluster will need to quarantine.
During the tournament itself, players will regularly have their temperatures taken, and there will be more Covid019 test carried out, and before they leave the island as well.
The CPL is due to begin on August 18th and will continue through until September 10th.
The six teams are made up of squads of 17, nine of whom must be West Indian, with a further two slots reserved for emerging players.
That leaves five berths in each squad for overseas players, with star names contracted to play including the New Zealand trio of Colin Munro, Ross Taylor and Tim Seiffert, Marcus Stoinis of Australia, Rassie van der Dussen of South Africa, and Englands Alex Hales.
