https:\/\/www.sportsmax.tv\/: The Jamaica Tallawahs are one of only two Caribbean Premier League (CPL) teams, alongside the Trinbago Knight Riders, with at least three titles to their name.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

They won the inaugural tournament in 2013 before doing so again in 2016 and 2022.<\/p>\n

In the next edition of the Caribbean\u2019s biggest T20 showcase, the Tallawahs will not be present.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In their place will be a not-yet-named Antigua-based franchise. This won\u2019t be Antigua\u2019s first time hosting a franchise as, for the first two editions of the CPL, they were the home of the Antigua Hawksbills who won only three of their 16 games before eventually replaced by the St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

After acquiring the team in 2017, Guyanese businessman Kris Persaud sold the Tallawahs back to the CPL ahead of the 2024 season because he said he was unable to sustain the team given a lack of support from the Jamaican Government.<\/p>\n

Former Tallawahs CEO, Jeff Miller, shed more light on this lack of support from the Government.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cOver the years, we have failed to get any backing or support from the Jamaican Government. We have submitted proposals over the years requesting Government support and we have failed to reach some kind of agreement to say that the Government is supporting the franchise,\u201d Miller told SportsMax.tv in an interview on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe business plan of CPL entails that the Governments play a major role in financial support of the franchises and that\u2019s what the other franchises are receiving from their respective countries and Jamaica has failed to participate in those environs,\u201d he added.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In fact, Jamaica, one of the regions proudest cricketing nations, has not hosted a CPL game since September 2019 when the Tallawahs lost by 20 runs to the St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, the franchise cannot be sustained in Jamaica. We cannot have a franchise where we don\u2019t have home games,\u201d Miller said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you don\u2019t have home games, you\u2019re losing ticket sales, you\u2019re losing merchandising, you\u2019re losing concession, you\u2019re losing sponsors. So, it\u2019s not only the government support, you\u2019re losing others as well because what business would want to support a franchise and they can\u2019t get any benefits from the franchise playing within the country? For what we see, there were no games scheduled for 2024 either! It\u2019s unsustainable,\u201d Miller added.<\/p>\n

This was due to the reluctance of the Government to pay the CPL hosting fee for the last four years. When asked why this was, Miller said he wasn\u2019t privy to those discussions but always had promises from Jamaica\u2019s Minister of Sport, the hon. Olivia \u201cBabsy\u201d Grange regarding financial support.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not at privilege to those conversations. Those conversations would\u2019ve been between them and CPL. I\u2019m not sure what transpired but from the Tallawahs standpoint, we know that the minister was very graceful in her discussions with us but when it came to funding that\u2019s when things would go off track. We were promised on numerous occasions that there would be something in the budget, nothing substantial but even a small gesture, we were not able to receive those funds,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Persaud and Miller will lead the new Antigua-based franchise which will be part of next year’s competition, replacing the Tallawahs in the six-team Twenty20 tournament. The CPL is in search of new owners for the Jamaica-based franchise.<\/p>\n

Miller said they have gotten commitments from the Antiguan Government and are looking forward to a fruitful partnership in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have commitments from the Antiguan Government. We can\u2019t disclose any information, per se, but it\u2019s substantially more than what we were getting from Jamaica,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t tell the players; Jamaica\u2019s not supporting us so we can\u2019t pay your salary. All of those things have to be taken care of so we\u2019re looking forward to greener pastures and Antigua seems to be in a better position to support and seems to want to have a CPL team back in Antigua. We think it\u2019s a good fit for the franchise,\u201d Miller added.<\/p>\n

Announcements related to the branding of the new Antigua franchise will come next month, according to Miller,<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m engaging the fans in Antigua to participate in the naming of the franchise. That deadline should be around January 20th<\/sup>\u00a0or so. Then, we will announce the name as well as the colors and logo,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
