Weāve therefore created this new category to make attending a Barbados Royals match even more accessible and to take the fan and player relationship to another level. We want to have the loudest crowd in the entire CPL, cheering our team on to many victories.ā (PR) Barbados Today Stay informed and engaged with our digital news platform.
