Kieran raises some eye-opening points about the current state of the CPL, highlighting the form of several former West Indies stars. He shares his vision for change, suggesting: More opportunities for younger Caribbean talent to showcase their skills. Spreading experienced players across franchises to create better balance. Smarter use of CPL draft picks to support player development across the region. Jordan echoes these views, stressing that the tournament has started to feel stagnant and that reform is needed if the CPL is to remain a genuine feeder system for international cricket.
