The Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) will honour Sir Garfield Sobers with a minute’s applause before the first match at each tournament location during the 2025 season. According to reports, the tribute is planned to be observed once in every host territory as the league moves from one venue to the next. Sobers is described across the coverage as one of cricket’s most celebrated all-rounders, with outlets noting his reputation and standing in the sport. The applause will take place ahead of the tournament’s opening game at each host location, marking a coordinated moment of recognition across the competition’s stops. The announcements indicate the league is aiming for a consistent pre-match gesture in each territory rather than a one-time ceremony, reflecting the CPL’s multi-venue format. Further details such as the exact timing within match preambles and any broadcast or in-stadium coordination were not included in the provided excerpts.
