The Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) announces that its Hall of Fame induction trophy for each year’s honouree will be officially named the Sir Garry Sobers Award, in tribute to Sir Garfield “Garry” Sobers, widely regarded as one of West Indies cricket’s greatest all-rounders.
The outlets describe the same decision: that the CPL’s annual Hall of Fame recognition will carry Sobers’ name. One report uses “Sir Garry Sobers” in the award title, while another refers to “Sir Garfield Sobers” in identifying the person being honoured. Other than this difference in how the name is presented, both accounts align on the purpose of the change—recognition of Sobers through the CPL Hall of Fame trophy.
No additional details on the rollout, selection process for Hall of Fame inductees, or timing beyond the announcement are included in the excerpts provided.
