The tournament is bringing a new twist to the modern game as the format is completely different; each team will have six wickets, and hitting a six off the first 12 balls will grant the batting team an additional Powerplay over, etc.

The tournament will be played in St Kitts and Nevis and will be played from August 24 to 28.
