Arnos Vale, St. Vincent and the Grenadines – VPLT10 4.0 blasts off March 19, 2022. The ten overs tournament first match will bowl off at midday on Saturday at the usual venue, Arnos Vale Playing Field. The 4th edition will be played over 15 days until April 3, 2022.

SVGCA President Romel Currency confirmed his delight at the upcoming tournament, particularly the new features. “As we remain committed to the continued evolution of the VPL, it is pleasing to bring new features to the tournament. The 4th edition will see our female cricketers featuring for the first time, and there is also the inclusion of more overseas players than ever. It is also exciting to be incorporating more technologies, which will show an improved T10 product,” said Currency.
