On Friday, a North Zone cricket media release said, 'A number of national league players have been recruited by the clubs, which will raise the level of play and excitement of the tournament. Police have in their roster, Rayad Emrit and Lendl Simmons while Santa Cruz has registered Darren Bravo and Tion Webster. This makes the opening encounter a mouth-watering affair.'

The clubs are playing for a first prize of $10,000, second place will earn $6,000 with losing semi-finalists getting $3,000.
