Sir Vivian Richards Stadium: The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons have been unveiled as the newest franchise in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL). The newly-formed team will replace the Jamaica Tallawahs, who ceased to exist in the tournament after the 2023 season.

The Falcons franchise will have the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua as their home venue for the forthcoming CPL 2024 season. Krishna (Kris) Persaud, the Florida-based Guyanese businessman, who previously owned the Jamaica franchise, will own the new Falcons franchise via his company Worldwide Sports Management Group.

"What you are witnessing today as we unveil the Antigua & Barbuda Falcons, is something truly special and I want to thank the Government of Antigua & Barbuda, who have worked closely with us to bring the Antigua & Barbuda Falcons to life. Antigua is our home … this country has a rich cricket history and the Antigua & Barbuda Falcons will create more great history on these shores. It is now time for the Falcons to fly high!
