Colourful CPL opening

Jamaican reggae superstar Konshens, Trinidadian soca artiste KES and Barbadian soca queen Alison Hinds provided early entertainment as Kensington Oval was transformed last night into a colourful spectacle with costumed revellers.
This was the launch of the Limacol Caribbean Premier League, which involves some of the biggest names in international cricket.
The first match of the twenty20 series was between the St Lucia Zouks and the Barbados Tridents before a sold-out crowd after a big fireworks display and the unveiling of the trophy.
Matches will also be played at the Oval tomorrow and Saturday before the CPL moves to other Caribbean countries.
