The MAX60 Caribbean League competition in the Cayman Islands, which features experienced batter David Warner among its participants, may prove to be a boon for the T10 format. The event is anticipated to be a great success because it has the support of the Caribbean boards and has been sanctioned by the International Cricket Council.
The competition, which will pit six teams against one another in 25 matches spread over eight days, is scheduled to begin on Sunday, August 18. The T10 Abu Dhabi Champions, Miami Lions, Grand Cayman Stingrays, Caribbean Giants, Boca Raton Trailblazers, and New York Strikers are the teams that will be playing.
In addition to David Warner, other players competing in the MAX60 competition include Thisara Perera, Sikandar Raza, Dwayne Bravo, and Alex Hales. Dario Barthley, the competition’s CEO, recently took centre stage and discussed how player compensation is comparable to that of other international competitions.
“Player payments are comparable to those in similar leagues around the world. (The payments) guaranteed the acquisition of major international players alongside some incredible up-and-coming talent abroad and Cayman local players, fifteen of whom will receive higher compensation than ever before,” Forbes cited Barthley as saying.

In addition, he discussed the implications of David Warner’s signing for the competition and its implications. Furthermore, he thinks the Island nation’s native players will pick up a lot of knowledge from the renowned Australian. The goal of the MAX60 is to highlight the Cayman Islands’ love of cricket against an amazing background.
“David Warner is an incredible addition to our league; he has accomplished everything in T20 cricket, and we are privileged to have him support us and showcase his skills for the Cayman Islands and global audience,” the Chief Executive of MAX60 went on.

“There’s actually a pretty strong cricket culture in the Cayman Islands, among both locals and the expat community. People always talk about the old days when all the big West Indies players used to come here,” Barthley said in closing.
