The Barbados Tridents are the representative cricket team of Barbados in the Caribbean Premier League. It was one of the six teams created in 2013 for the inaugural season of the tournament. Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg has 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] The Tridents won the 2014 CPL and qualified for the champions league. They were out of the tournament in the group stage managing to win only one of their four matches.
