The Jamaica Tallawahs, a three-time CPL champion, were previously owned by Florida-based businessman Kris Persaud, who sold the team back to the CPL due to sustainability issues and bought the rights to a new team, which became the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons.

Tallawahs have not featured in the league for the last two editions. According to ESPNcricinfo, GMR officials attended the final of the CPL on Sunday, and they are considered strong favourites to run the franchise from next year. They would become the seventh team involved in the league, increasing the number of fixtures played.

Pete Russell, the CPL's chief executive, said earlier this month that the league is "very excited at the prospect of a return to Jamaica" after "fruitful and engaging discussions" with the government. "We are hopeful that these negotiations will reach a positive conclusion in the coming months," Russell said. The GMR Group did not respond to a request for a comment.
