Caribbean Airlines launches Caribbean Village Cricket program

Regional carrier Caribbean Airlines has announced the launch of its new Instagram page, @ourcaribbeanexperience, alongside the introduction of “Caribbean Village Cricket,” a dynamic T10 format tournament that celebrates the essence of community through the beloved sport of cricket.

“Caribbean Village Cricket” represents the airline’s dedication to showcasing Caribbean culture, following the success of its “Culture in D’Park” event during Trinidad Carnival. This initiative is part of a broader Caribbean Culture program, with additional elements slated for release later this year.

Following the inaugural matches in Trinidad, Caribbean Village Cricket will journey to Jamaica, and then Guyana culminating in the final round at the renowned Queens Park Oval, Port-of-Spain on May 5.

The planned dates for the tournament are as follows:

Trinidad (3 locations) – March 29 – 31
Kingston, Jamaica – April 20
Georgetown, Guyana – April 28
Finals – Queens Park Oval, Trinidad – May 5

CEO of Caribbean Airlines, Garvin Medera, expressed enthusiasm for the tournament, stating, “Village cricket holds a cherished place within Caribbean culture, embodying the spirit of community, camaraderie, and the love for the game. In the Caribbean, cricket is more than a sport; it’s a tradition that brings together people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life.”

He continued, “The village cricket matches conjure feelings of home and become vibrant social events where families gather to cheer on their local teams, creating an atmosphere that transcends the boundaries of the cricket field.”

Caribbean Airlines said it “is proud to support and promote this aspect of Caribbean life, further strengthening its commitment to connecting communities and celebrating the diverse cultures of the region.”
