Minister of Sport and Community Development Shamfa Cudjoe said: "Once again, the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is pleased to partner with the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) as we get ready to host the final match of the 2023 Women's CPL. The hosting of this game comes at an opportune time as it strategically aligns with the goal of the Ministry's ongoing Pink Reign TT campaign, which speaks to promoting women and girls in sport."

Pete Russell, CEO of the Caribbean Premier League, said: “We are hugely excited to have an expanded WCPL schedule for 2023 and we are grateful to the government of Trinidad & Tobago for their support in helping to grow the tournament in 2023. We are very much looking forward to seeing one of these three fantastic teams lift the WCPL trophy in Trinidad & Tobago on 10 September.

The women's CPL will feature three teams - Trinbago Knight Riders, Barbados Royals and Guyana Amazon Warriors. Unlike last year, the second season has been scheduled such that there won't be any overlap with the women's Hundred. This would make a lot of marquee players available for both tournaments, including local talents like Deandra Dottin and Hayley Matthews.
