5 reasons why CPL can match up to IPL

#3 Florida games – the international connect

A few CPL games are held in the US every year, adding to the appeal

Unlike the IPL, the CPL stages four games outside the island nations, in Florida at Fort Lauderdale. Fans from New York and even Canada travel to Fort Lauderdale to witness the biggest party in town. The audience attendance has always been satisfactory in Florida, thanks to the thriving Jamaican expat community around the area. These four games, therefore, give the tournament a truly international feel and also open up new revenue streams for the organisers.

With more and more fans taking up the sport, it is not so futuristic to think that the next wave of talent will come from unconventional territories, and tournaments such as the CPL can prove to be the catalyst for the same.
