Caribbean Premier League implements health screening and youth cricket initiatives

The 2026 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) conducted a large-scale public health programme across eight host venues. In collaboration with regional health authorities and non-governmental organisations, health professionals provided free screenings for non-communicable diseases to 5,555 fans. The services included blood pressure checks, blood glucose testing, Body Mass Index assessments, urinalysis, and PSA testing.

Across the participating territories, 984 referrals and follow-up vouchers were issued to connect individuals with local health services. The CPL intends to make these health screenings a permanent fixture of the tournament's annual calendar.

In a separate community initiative, Flow Barbados donated $5,000 to the Wildey Cricket Club through the ‘Every Six Gives Back’ programme. The donation was triggered by twenty-two sixes hit by the Barbados Tridents during the tournament. The funds are intended to support youth cricket development and provide opportunities for aspiring players.
