PM hails T20 heroes

Article by Anmar Goodridge-Boyce

It was a message of gratitude and great appreciation as Prime Minister Mia Mottley publicly congratulated the Barbados Tridents for capturing the 2019 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) title a week ago.

Still basking in the glory of winning the most prestigious T20 cricket tournament in the region, the Tridents took to the streets of Barbados yesterday to celebrate the 27-run victory over the Guyana Amazon Warriors and to say “thank you” to the nation.

The champions’ motorcade started at the Mecca Kensington Oval shortly after 1 p.m. where players greeted fans, then the parade made its way through The City of Bridgetown before arriving at Café 195 in Warrens, St Michael.

It was there that the Prime Minister, in front of over 200 hundred cricket fans, family and friends, showered the Tridents in praise. (AGB)
