The Jamaica Cricket president went on to say that this will only strengthen the relationship between the two countries because many young cricket fans in Jamaica want to play in the IPL like Andre Russell and Chris Gayle.

“Students here want to play, but it’s extremely expensive. Following that, a large number of young cricketers from Jamaica may arrive.

“They will participate in the IPL, which currently has 17 Caribbean players, four of them are from Jamaica. This will boost India’s relationship with Jamaica,” he stated.

President Ram Nath Kovind, who is on a four-day visit to Jamaica, presented the Jamaica Cricket Association with a symbolic gift of cricket kits as a sign of the two countries’ cricket collaboration.
