The Barbados Tridents (known as the Barbados Royals from 2021 to 2025) are the representative franchise cricket team of Barbados in the Caribbean Premier League. They are one of the six teams specifically created in 2013 for the inaugural season of the tournament. Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg had an equity interest in the team since 2013 after he was introduced to the game by his friend Ajmal Khan, the club's chairman[1] and CPL architect.[2]
In 2014 CPL they qualified for the champions league. They were out of the tournament in the group stage managing to win only one of their four matches. On 30 July 2021, it was announced that the team name would be changed from the Barbados Tridents to the Barbados Royals.[3][4] On 13 May 2026, it was announced that following a partnership with the Royals Sports Group and the Government of Barbados, the team name would return to the Barbados Tridents for the 2026 season.[5]
Barbados Tridents as part of the Royals Sports Group, are two-time Caribbean Premier League champions, lifting the trophy in 2014 and 2019. In 2022, Barbados Tridents continue its journey in CPL and managed to closed some sponsorship deals like MCW Sports.[6]
