| Trinbago Knight Riders head coach Dwayne Bravo hailed his side’s record-extending fifth Caribbean Premier League (CPL) championship as more than a simple victory on the field.
Their three-wicket victory over hosts Guyana Amazon Warriors at Guyana National Stadium in Providence on Sunday night was the moment the franchise reclaimed its place as the Caribbean’s most dominant T20 team.
Beyond cricket and TKR’s victory, Bravo spoke about the broader impact of sport on national unity and culture and urged those in authority to respect sport and what athletes do to represent the country successfully on the world stage.
