Subaskaran Allirajah, the group chairman of Lycamobile told SportsPro: “Lycamobile has a strong heritage in cricket as the sport captivates and unites many of our communities. We are incredibly excited to join the Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel team from the very beginning of their journey and look forward to growing with them through the series of prosperous and victorious tournaments to come.”

“We think that the Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel franchise, indeed the League itself, is a good fit for Lycamobile because both parties embrace the values of hard work, tenacity in achieving its goals and delivering a quality product of the highest standard,” added Caribbean Premier League chief executive Damien O’Donohoe. “We trust that this partnership will be the catalyst for Lycamobile to establish its brand in the region, and expand operations into a very profitable market.”
