The Board and Management of the Cricket UWI St Augustine (CUSA) regret to inform the public that the 8th Edition of The UWI T20 Cricket Tournament has been postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

CUSA, the organiser of the UWI T20 tournament since its inauguration in 2012 wishes to thank all supporters, sponsors and patrons of the tournament over the past years. They look forward to the return of the scintillating spectacle of cricket at the Sir Frank Worrell Ground, UWI SPEC.

Last year, twelve cricket clubs had competed for the top prize of $40,000 and a Challenge Trophy, playing through a preliminary, quarterfinal and semi-final round, with undefeated teams progressing to the final. Powergen claimed the 2020 UWI-Unicom Twenty20 title following a 14-run victory (Duckworth-Lewis), over Queen's Park Cricket Club. UNICOM Limited had sponsored the title for four consecutive years.
