The Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) is working with regional health authorities to offer free health testing for fans at all eight host venues this season, including the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground.
This effort is part of the tournament’s ongoing support in addressing non-communicable diseases, which are a major concern in the Caribbean.
Health professionals will be at CPL venues throughout the tournament, giving fans a chance to check on their well-being while enjoying the cricket.
Screenings such as blood pressure checks, blood glucose testing, Body Mass Index (BMI) assessment, urinalysis, and PSA testing will be available for those who want them.
CPL CEO Pete Russell spoke about why this initiative matters.
“Non-communicable diseases have touched almost every one of us in some way, whether as patients ourselves or through a loved one,” he said. “Being a good corporate citizen means using the platform we’ve built for something bigger than the game itself. Early detection is key to combating non-communicable diseases – this programme puts that principle into practice.
“CPL reaches fans in eight territories every season, and we believe that reach comes with a responsibility to give back. Bringing health screening into our stadiums is a simple and practical way to act on that responsibility.”
