Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines – Dream 11 Vincy Premier League (VPL) T10 is Back! The 5th edition will be played at the Arnos Vale Playing Field from April 10 – 23, 2023.
The theme for the upcoming edition is Cricket, Our Way! Previous editions of VPL exhibited exciting cricket and an electrifying atmosphere despite being staged during the pandemic. The VPL Finals have been spectacles witnessed by thousands of spectators.
For the upcoming edition, plans are afoot to incorporate more off-the-field activities to complement the exciting cricket on the field. Some of these will be announced at the Launch and player draft event on February 27, 2023, at the Arnos Vale Playing Field.

Planning is in the advanced stage, we have assembled a purpose-driven committee determined to elevate the VPL experience for all stakeholders. An amazing sporting experience awaits Vincentians,” said Mr. Bascombe.
