Antigua Falcons CPL 2026 campaign

Overview

In late July 2026, the Antigua & Barbuda Falcons launched a ticket‑sale drive for the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League, detailing pricing tiers and promoting a carnival‑style match‑day atmosphere. The franchise announced an overseas player roster that includes England all‑rounder Moeen Ali, Sri Lanka’s Kusal Perera, USA batter Milind Kumar, Canada all‑rounder Tajinder Singh and Pakistan’s Shadab Khan and Sufiyan Muqeem.

A four‑day pre‑season camp at the Liberta Sports Club in Antigua focused on team cohesion, cultural building and community outreach. Head Coach Paul Nixon said the camp “helps build the foundation of our culture,” while Head of Operations Sabrina Webster called it “critical” for developing synergy. The squad, featuring Rahkeem Cornwall, Karima Gore, assistant coach Wilden Cornwall and bowling coach Sir Curtly Ambrose, then travelled to Kingstown, St. Vincent for the league opener.

On 7 August, the Falcons defeated the newly formed Jamaica Kingsmen at Arnos Vale Stadium, chasing 168 and sealing victory with a six‑ball finish. Tajinder Singh contributed a rapid 62, while Alzarri Joseph (3/34) and Jayden Seales (1/19) led the bowling attack. The win, aided by a Kingsmen misfield, marked a strong start to the campaign following the team's eliminator loss the previous season.

However, the Falcons' momentum was halted on 9 August when they lost to the Saint Lucia Kings by four runs at Arnos Vale Ground. After the Kings posted 187/8, fueled by Andries Gous's 82, the Falcons' chase was hampered by the dismissal of Rahkeem Cornwall to a return catch by Maheesh Theekshana, leaving the team unable to reach the target.
